From: The effect of concentrating obstetrics services in fewer hospitals on patient access: a simulation
Extent of intensification and coverage of the female population of reproductive age. Intensification of obstetrics hospitals, access to the nearest obstetrics hospital and population coverage. Change in population coverage within 30-min access of the nearest obstetrics hospital based on three possible scenarios for intensification of obstetrics hospitals: Scenario 1 considered only the number of deliveries per hospital; Scenario 2 gave priority to retaining at least one hospital in each medical service area (MSA) and the number of deliveries per hospital in each MSA was considered; Scenario 3 aimed to maximize population coverage without considering the number of deliveries per hospital
