The present study aimed to utilize spatial tools to integrate different spatial and aspatial information for spatial analysis of healthcare accessibility and inaccessibility which support to propose new health infrastructures in inaccessible areas in Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India. Murshidabad district come under the medium-to-low accessible zone for health service if only availability of medical institution will be the criteria but spatial location (distance, travel impedance, travel cost etc.) of the healthcare centres also a vital element for driving accessibility. While many previous researchers have highlighted the nonspatial data and statistical inference to analyse healthcare accessibility in a geographical location, the present study applied a GIS-based hybrid decision-making approach for assessing the spatial accessibility of healthcare facilities and site suitability analysis in Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India. ./cache/cord-024619-0wihqs9i.txt ./txt/cord-024619-0wihqs9i.txt
