A location comparison of three health care centers in Sfax-city

<p>The problem of health facilities location is explored under a mathematical optimization approach. Several models are developed for the location of a generalized health facility system in a manner that the selected criteria are optimized. From the literature we use in our paper the criteria efficiency and availability of the service. The optimal locations satisfying two objectives, one that minimizes health care centers-patient distance and another that captures as many patients as possible within a pre-specified time or distance. The results indicate that the existing locations provide near-optimal geographic access to health care center.
