The lack number of health workers or the univen distribution of health workers is a problem that often occurs in each region. This research will use the method  of multidimensional scaling in mapping districts / cities in Central Sulawesi Province based on indicators of health workers. The results obtained are formed in to 4 groups of districts/cities that have similarities among its members but different from other groups. In the group 1 is Palu, Group 2 contained Parigi Moutong districts. In the group 3 consists of Banggai, Poso, Sigi and Toli-Toli Districts.
