Hence analyzing the spatial Distribution of existing hospital facilities is a significant aspect in healthcare and farther decision making concerning the distribution and equity among the number of population and geographical accessibility. Accordingly based on point data obtained from Google earth survey the spatial distribution of hospitals through regions of Ethiopia is mapped and disparity of distribution is measured by using Location quotient, a ratio of population per hospital and ratio of hospitals per area coverage where used.
