Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for the Hub location for medical care during epidemic outbreaks. A problem of coverage of medical services that offers a radius of medical attention to the population is analyzed. Two criteria are shown for the location of health services. Finally, based on public health policy recommendations, the solution is proposed for a hypothetical case.
