Departemen Kesehatan telah menyediakan fasilitas kesehatan masyarakat berupa Puskesmas. Meskipun demikian sebagian masyarakat terutama penduduk miskin belum sepenuhnya dapat mengakses pelayanan kesehatan karena kendala jarak dan biaya transportasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan angka kejadian wasting, underweight, dan stunting terhadap akes ke Puskesmas antara desa Anin yang berjarak kurang dari 1 km dan desa Nenoat yang berjarak lebih dari 1 km di Kabupaten TTS, Provinsi NTT. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder hasil pengukuran balita di Posyandu pada bulan Oktober 2010. Jumlah sampel sebesar 176 responden. Hasil penelitian pada desa Anin dan desa Nenoat angka wasting rendah yaitu 7% di desa Anin dan 9,5% di desa Nenoat. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara angka kejadian wasting terhadap akses ke Puskesmas di desa Anin dan Nenoat dengan nilai p = 0,808. Untuk underweight, pada desa Anin sebanyak 38% sedangkan desa Nenoat 59%. Pada stunting, di desa Anin sebanyak 67,6% dan desa Nenoat sebanyak 76,2%. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara angka kejadian underweight dan stunting terhadap akses ke Puskesmas di desa Anin dan desa Nenoat dengan masing-masing nilai p = 0,002 dan nilai p = 0,021.Sebagai kesimpulan terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara angka kejadian underweight dan stunting terhadap akses ke Puskesmas antara desa Anin dan desa Nenoat. Pada penelitian berikutnya, perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk melihat hubungan sebab akibat dan ditingkatkan baik kesadaran masyarakat maupun pemerintah setempat akan pentingnya peran Puskesmas di masyarakat.
