The aim of the article is to measure the human capital resources defined in the area of health and to diagnose its structure. It was attempted also to assess its spatial distribution, as well as to examine the relationship between the health capital and the level of socio‑economic development. The selected taxonomic hierarchisation methods (pointless) and classification of multi‑feature objects were used. The assumption about spatial disproportions in the level of health capital (HCSIH) was verified, as well as the positive relation between the level of health capital (HCSIH) and the level of socio‑economic development (LHDI) was also examined. The results confirm the spatial disproportions of the health capital in Poland, and the differentiation its structure, visible between regions. Also noticeable are the effects of polarization: center‑periphery. The results of statistical tests positively verify the tested hypothesis about the existing positive relation between the level of health capital of the (HCSIH) and the level of development (LHDI) of a given unit, whereby the strength of the relationship is assessed at the level at most medium. The analysis was carried out at the poviat level in Poland. The Central Statistical Office Local Data Bank, National Census 2011 (NSP) and data on LHDI from the National Report on Social Development Poland 2012 UNDP were the main data source.
