Introduction: Health services must be accessible to all people without exception. Geographic is one of the important dimensions in accessing health services. Geographical barriers affect utilization of health services and disease outcomes. It is not an easy thing to overcome geographic barriers. Various efforts and strategies need to be continuously carried out to overcome geographical influences on the utilization of health services. Objective: To collect and analyze articles related to the impact of geographic barriers and access to health services through the literature. Method: Literature search was conducted on 3 online databases (PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest). Articles were sorted by reading the title, abstract, and full text. The inclusion criteria in this study were articles in English, published in 2012-2022 with the topic of the impact of geographic barriers and strategies for accessing health services. Result: Thirteen articles were obtained, six of which (46.15%) describe geographic barriers, the impact of geographic barriers, and describe solutions to overcome these geographic barriers. Seven articles discuss geographic access to access to health facilities and the health care system. Conclusion: Through an understanding of the impact of geographic barriers on access to health services, several strategies can be developed by health service providers to overcome geographic barriers, including the use of geographic information systems; mobile health facilities, and telemedicine. © 2023 MPPKI.
