Abstract: This study maps urban health facilities in Maharashtra, focusing on healthcare distribution and accessibility in rapidly urbanizing areas, especially slums. Using spatial analysis and demographic data, it evaluates health infrastructure adequacy, highlighting gaps in service coverage for marginalized populations. The research examines population growth trends, particularly in slums, and explores socio-economic factors affecting health outcomes. The study concludes with recommendations to improve healthcare infrastructure, targeting vulnerable communities. By providing insights into healthcare access, it aims to inform policy-makers and planners in addressing challenges posed by urban growth and migration in Maharashtra’s healthcare system.
