The possibilities of using geographic information system (GIS) and the radius of the function a land spatial distribution of hospitals, clinics and analysis-analyzing data and using the overlap index was attempted in this city. And finally to rank areas of the tactics used Tapsis Results: The differences between the three regions of Isfahan in hospital services and clinics there.
