Integer Programming Optimization-based Simulation in Allocating Medical Doctors in Rural Public Health Facilities in Kenya
Vincent Major Bulinda
Abstract:The linear Programming technique is an essential tool in the efficient distribution of physicians within rural public hospitals and is essential for maximizing the use of healthcare resources and enhancing patient access to high-quality treatment. A simulation approach based on integer programming optimization to handle the doctor allocation problem in rural public hospitals in Kenya as a methodology is considered. The objective function, constraints, and decision variables are applied in the allocation strate… Show more
