Abstract

Selecting a location for a potential hospital often decides the success or the failure of such a facility. It is thus important to assess the locations from multiple dimensions before selecting the site. This paper focuses on the multi factor evaluation of hospital sites using Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) with Delphi method and evaluates three potential rural hospital sites in India. This study considered three major factors and eleven sub factors in the evaluation. Findings show that among the sub factors, cost of land, population density and proximity to public transport evolved as the three most significant sub factors.
