ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate a p-median model for health care services accessibility based on decentralization and optimal allocation of Primary Health Care Units in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods Using geographical data of Primary Health Care Units located in the State of São Paulo, potential support and supply facility allocations were simulated by means of a random approach. Several constraints were then imposed on the system to simulate different scenarios. Results were assessed according to geographic disposition. Results […]
