Abstract

In Madhya Pradesh, the conventional method of supply and demand calculation for a comprehensive primary health care facility in rural areas is population census-based. The study is breaking the conventional method and using population and distance to the nearest public health facility for demand calculation. Location-allocation model of Arc GIS 10 was used for analyses. Currently, about 10, 209 Sub Health Centres are located in rural Madhya Pradesh in 313 developmental blocks. This study highlights the use of Geographic Information System technology for planning comprehensive health centres to optimize access to the rural population. Although the location-allocation methodology has been available for decades, it has been used sparsely by public health professionals. This paper makes an important contribution to the method for planning in resource-limited settings.
