One dimension of access is accessibility. This paper focuses on measuring the accessibility to urgent and emergency care services in the Portuguese region of Baixo Alentejo, a territory characterized by low population density. Data for the calculation of accessibility is the road network, and the methodology considers the application of a two-level network analyst method: time-distance by own mean (car or taxi) to the urgent care services and the time distance to emergency services as a way to get assistance and to go to urgent care services. While urgent care accessibility meets the requirements stipulated in the Integrated Medical Emergency System\u2019s current legislative framework, the simulation of different scenarios of potential accessibility shows intra-regional disparities. Some territories have a low level of accessibility. Older adults, the poorly educated, and low-income population, also have the lowest levels of accessibility, which translates into dually disadvantageous situation since the potential users of emergency services are most likely to belong to this group of citizens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1413-81232021266.1.40882020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,14]],"date-time":"2021-06-14T22:37:45Z","timestamp":1623710265000},"page":"2483-2496","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Accessibility to urgent and emergency care services in low-density territories: the case of Baixo Alentejo, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7937-9521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rita","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4859-9668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno Marques da","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5070-3562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduarda Marques da","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6]]},"reference":[{"year":"2010","series-title":"Equidade e Acesso aos Cuidados de Sa\u00fade - Documento preparado para o PNS","author":"Furtado C","key":"ref1"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"Pol\u00edticas P\u00fablicas em Sa\u00fade: 2011 - 2014.
