This study aims to determine location with lack of hospital with BPJSK by using of n-dimensional Euclidean distance. The three-dimensional coordinate of 2098 sample points (SP) and 77 hospitals are the quantitative parameter used to calculate the distance. Every hospital and SP are assigned an identity number depending on the regency of each hospital and SP. Each SP pairs with its closest hospital. The SP with different identity is grouped. 32.1% of area of Lampung Province is the location with lack of hospital with BPJSK.
