Popis Equal quality of care for everyone should be an important public policy goal. The goal of this paper is to analyze the geographical distribution of the health care in the Czech Republic; the method used in the research is the calculation of the four inequalities measurements: the absolute range, relative range, Robin Hood index and the Gini coefficient. The trend over time is analyzed quantitatively in the case of 1) the outpatient care and 2) the dentist care. The results of our analysis show that the supply of outpatient services and the supply of the dental care are inequitably distributed in the Czech Republic. For example, 13 % of the dentist was concentrated in the capital in 2003 and even 15.5 % of the dentists in 2013. The analysis showed that the distribution of the outpatient physicians has become less equitable during the observed period both for the physicians and for the special case of the outpatient care – the dentists. In the second part, we focus on the central government's activities encouraging the supply in the undersupplied regions. In this context, the role of the region ´s government is discussed.
