The AA. begin with a discussion of the role of locality in health planning. Next they consider the limited literature in medicalgeography which has taken a more overtly theoretical perspective on the role of locality. They consider the extent
to which the disciplinary reawakening has penetrated the medical geographic consciousness.
The paper introduces a range of issues bound up with telemedicine and medical care regionalization and offers a geographical conceptualization of those issues through a synthesis of ideas from several literatures. It examines the formation
of virtual regions and the problem of their internal integration and integration with material regions of care. Then the A. argues for the use of regional economic geography and territoriality as contexts for understanding the continued growth and development

The institutional organization of the health care system is presented. Then the problem of availability of medical aid is discussed. Finally, an explanation of the existing situation is attempted.
This paper investigates a specific geographical idea (importance of distance-decay patterns in the utilisation of medical or mental health facilities) and the objective is to illuminate the historical-geographical contexts in which the idea

In the section I of his paper, the A. briefly examines the theoretical rationale for reliance on a medical referral system and describes its institutional form. In section II, he heuristically discusses the kinds of disequilibria that may arise
in such a system and the conditions required for optimality. In section III, he evaluates how well Tunisia's medical referral system satisfies theses conditions. Conclusion: Tunisia's medical system-only partially justifies its current pattern of resource

Geographers have been increasingly involved in emergency medical-services planning. Of particular importance has been the application of location-optimizing models that minimize ambulance-response time. There has been little research
on the importance of response time and its clinical impact. Response time is confirmed as a determinant of patient outcome by the use of emergency medical system in Seattle as a case study.
