Pharmacy-Adjacent Clinics (CAF) are part of a corporate business model, whose private services provide medical assistance to citizens. This study analyses the spatial distribution of CAF in two Metropolitan Areas (ZM) of Mexico, Querétaro and Toluca, both of which have similar territorial dynamics, albeit in different ways, and have responded to economic and industrial stimuli. The purpose is to know if there is a spatial distribution, and if it is concentrated, diffuse or a random product and how it has behaved from 2010 to 2019.To do this, a point pattern analysis was carried out, using three indicators, the average number of nearest neighbours, the spatial autocorrelation of the Moran Index and finally the high/low grouping of Getis-Ord. The main results show a concentrated distribution of CAF, especially in the urban localities of both ZM, leaving rural localities unprotected.  In addition, there is a concentration at the beginning of 2010, which is consistent with the health regulations in Mexico in that same year, but they are beginning to be decentralized, especially in the Toluca MPA, as they approach 2019.
