  1. Note: To get the spatial accessibility (including spatial access to doctors, health professionals, and hospitals beds) of different types of hospitals, hospitals of different ownership and level were firstly calculated using the E2SFCA (enhanced two-step floating catchment area) method separately. The spatial accessibility of population points located in ethnic minority and non-minority region were then weight averaged with population density respectively to get the average spatial accessibility of ethnic minority and non-minority region
