A color-coded map of Europe showing the percentage of the population living within a 15-minute drive of a hospital by NUTS 3 regions in 2023. Dark blue regions (≥100%) indicate full access, while yellow regions (<50%) show limited access. Germany shows widespread dark blue coverage. High-access regions are also found in parts of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. Low-access areas (yellow) are concentrated in parts of Romania, Greece, Spain, and Ireland. Grey areas indicate regions with no available data. The map is sourced from Eurostat
