The study presents use of methods of multidimensional comparative analysis to assess the health status of the population by voivodships. Data for the analysis are reproduced from the CSO. An assessment of the differences in health was made using Ward's method. The best results were obtained in the group bringing together the voivodships: Zachodniopomorskie, Śląskie, Mazowieckie, Łódzkie, Pomorskie and Dolnośląskie. In the voivodship group the Author observed the smallest number of high bloodpressure and rheumatoid arthritis cases, as well as the most favorable situation for the prevention, among others expressed by the number of women performing mammography. The voivodships characterize by the highest spending on health care from the budget of local governments per 1 thousand inhabitants. (original abstract)
