# Average travel time to the nearest hospital in minutes – excluding hospitals in potential flood-prone areas, 2020

This metadata refers to the vector dataset presenting, for NUTS3 regions, the average travel time to the nearest hospital in 2020, excluding hospitals located in the EEA potential flood-prone areas (https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/28c36420-c31b-440e-80c5-8064696f3517). The data has been developed by Eurostat to measure how easily basic services can be reached by the resident population, based on spatial analyses of the location of healthcare facilities, combined with the road network and the location of hospitals in the EEA potential flood-prone areas. Note that the accessibility could have been calculated across a national border.

The data is included in the European Climate and Health Observatory: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/observatory. The European Climate and Health Observatory platform provides easy access to a wide range of relevant publications, tools, websites and other resources related to climate change and human health.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/350f6cc3-6fd2-4f4e-a709-676c07cda490
