Access to healthcare facilities is an essential measure of the urban development of contemporary cities. Governments often budget huge sums to fulfill the healthcare demands of the population, however neglect to address requirements specific to women. This paper assesses the density, spatial distribution, and services of healthcare facilities to identify care requirements specific to women, and how their needs are-or could be-met. The analysis addresses the research question: What strategies will improve women's access to healthcare and satisfy their healthcare requirements? Methods include a case study in the Yuetan Area of Beijing, field investigation, mapping, and questionnaires. The survey was carried out in November 2021 and January 2022 and involved 462 women residents in the Yuetan Area. Results indicate: (i) that, despite the total number of facilities meeting the standards recommended by the WHO, the spatial distribution of healthcare facilities is imbalanced; (ii) women's healthcare encompasses both physical and psychological health. Optimizing accessibility to healthcare facilities can positively impact women's health and well-being. Conclusions include insights regarding the relationship between access to healthcare facilities women's healthcare requirements, as well as proposing strategies for improved healthcare facilities with a focus on an equitable and sympathetic society.
获得医疗设施是当代城市城市发展的重要措施。政府经常预算大量资金来满足人口的医疗保健需求，但却忽视了满足女性特定需求。本文评估医疗设施的密度、空间分布和服务，以确定女性特定的护理需求，以及如何满足这些需求。分析解决了研究问题：哪些策略将改善妇女获得医疗保健的机会并满足其医疗保健需求？方法包括对北京月坛地区的案例研究、实地调查、制图和问卷调查。调查于 2021 年 11 月和 2022 年 1 月进行，涉及月坛地区的 462 名女性居民。结果表明：（i）尽管设施总数符合世界卫生组织推荐的标准，但医疗设施的空间分布不平衡；（ii）妇女的医疗保健包括身体健康和心理健康。优化医疗设施的可达性可以对妇女的健康和福祉产生积极影响。结论包括对医疗设施与妇女医疗保健需求之间关系的见解，以及提出了以公平和同情社会为重点的改善医疗设施的策略。
