Methodology
Distance to hospital is the straight-line distance, in kilometres, between the comarca capital and the nearest acute-care hospital (ICGC health-facility data). It indicates access to specialised hospital care and emergencies, especially relevant for older people and families. Comarques with the closest hospital appear first; green marks the best access.
