Abstract

This study aims at locating and sizing medical centers and allocating equipment to meet the community secondary care needs, since the specialized care on public Brazilian national health system is critical and chronically underfunded. Therefore, we develop a two-step optimization system and Web-based interface to provide scientific-based results to health system managers.
