Therefore, this research aims to study the spatial considerations in selecting the locations of government therapeutic healthcare centers and their impact on beneficiary satisfaction (patients or visitors). The research used a descriptive-analytical approach, involving an examination of the nature of existing government therapeutic healthcare centers in Mosul City. A survey was designed and distributed to a sample of 115 staff members at the healthcare centers, as well as a number of beneficiaries of their healthcare services. The research findings indicated that the appropriate selection of healthcare center location did not have a significant impact on enhancing beneficiary satisfaction with their therapeutic and medical services, primarily due to shortcomings in providing appropriate healthcare services, especially medications. Additionally, the increasing number of private medical centers and clinics competing in offering suitable services was identified as a contributing factor.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
