Methodology
Distance to hospital is the straight-line distance, in kilometres, between the comarca capital and the nearest acute-care hospital, using OpenStreetMap hospitals and ICGC comarca-capital coordinates. It is a geographic indicator, not travel time. Comarques with the closest hospital appear first.
