  Background: Equality in distribution of health facilities is the main indicator for increasing the availability of the facilities to the society. The aim of this study was to classify Bushehr province towns in health structural indicators using Numerical Taxonomy.

  Methods : This was a descriptive cross sectional study that used 21 health structural indicators in the towns of Bushehr province. Data was collected from statistical yearbook. Data analysis was done using Numerical Taxonomy, Excel 2010 and SPSS/18.

  Results: There is large gap between townships of Bushehr province in terms of enjoyment of structural indicators of health services. Ganaveh township with 0 . 477 score and Deyr township with 0 . 973 score had the highest and lowest scores, respectively in regard to enjoyment of health structural indicators.

  Conclusions: In order to improve less developed indicators and decrease differences in enjoyment of health services indicators among townships, especially in Deyr town, it is proposed that development-oriented planning must be carried out appropriately in these townships.
