Improving the health of citizens is one of the hallmarks of human development and promotion in any society and as a necessary and important issue to consider planning. The present study is a descriptive-analytic one aiming at studying and spatial analysis of the townships of Ilam province. To do so, the researchers have obtained the health-related indicators and the required data obtained from the 2012 statistical year of Ilam province. In order to do conduct the study, health-related indicators were analyzed using factor analysis technique as well as 20 indicators that were reduced to the top four factors. The results of the research show that there is a general deprivation in the province for the health-therapeutic indicators and the distribution of existing facilities is not so relevant to the power and demographic needs of the cities. According to the results of factor analysis, most of the studied townships (Mehran, Dareshahr, Dehloran and Sirvan - Chardavol) are deprived or semi-promising in terms of the indicators. Eivan, Ilam and Abdanan are ranked among the most deprived cities in terms of enjoyment of health and safety indexes in the most favored areas of Mehran and Dareshshar.
