Résumé/Sommaire :

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between accessibility to healthcare facilities and transportation in the Guelmim Oued Noun region of Morocco, where transportation barriers continue to pose a major challenge to accessing healthcare, despite efforts aimed at reducing access barriers.
Methods: Data collection for this study involved the administration of a survey among 328 outpatients residing in the Guelmim Oued Noun region, Morocco. The utilization of canonical correlation served as the analytical method, employed to quantify and assess the relationship between transportation related barriers and the access of healthcare services in the specified region.
Results: Our research reveals that transportation factors account for approximately 25% of the variation in access to healthcare services. The number of transportation modes utilized by outpatients and the affordability of transportation were found to be significant contributors to the transportation dimension. These findings confirm the significant relationship between transportation and access to healthcare facilities in the region under investigation.
Conclusion: Further research is recommended to specifically address transportation barriers to healthcare access services among socially excluded populations, with a focus on promoting mobility inclusivity.
