Little is known about the location and accessibility of nuclear medicine facilities, thus making the assessment of their location and allocation an integral part in strengthening nuclear medicine services in these countries. This paper employed the Maximal Covering Location Problem to identify the optimum numbers of University Teaching and Research Hospitals (UTRHs) that can be upgraded… Show more

“…The need of nuclear medicine facilities is required at a coverage area of 200 km per facility. Based on this fact, Indonesia needs about 16 nuclear medicine facilities which are spread evenly over the land area of Indonesia 2.01 million kilometers [7,8]. Therefore, it is still necessary to add and reactivate nuclear medicine facilities in Indonesia to be able to tackle nearly 1 million cases of cancer in Indonesia in the 5-years prevalent case [9].…”
