Summary/Abstract: The econometric analyss identifies factors which characterise the specificity of the poviats in a relevant way and influence on the human resources (working doctors) in the groups of poviats under study. Mention was made of factors, which affect the level of employment of doctors’ in poviats, although the strength of their impact was different.In Poland, the dissimilarity between poviats is a result of processes taking place in particular areas of country and translate into a permanent lack of coherence, clearly seen in healthcare, despite of expectations of uniformity. The quality of the services provided by the public facilities and increasing role of social capital become an essential component and a source of competitive advantage of each region.
