To study the spatial accessibility of healthcare services in cities on the Tibetan Plateau, this paper proposes an improved 3SFCA method in the main urban area of Xining City. The improved 3SFCA method incorporates both selection weights from the Huff model and the M2SFCA approach to addressing suboptimal allocation of supply resources. Results show that the accessibility of healthcare for the main urban area of Xining City decreases in a circle to four axes, with good accessibility in the east and center but poor accessibility in the north. And there is a positive spatial relationship between population and accessibility. Besides, this paper proposes a framework for studying the spatial accessibility of healthcare on the Tibetan Plateau.
