Abstract: Abstract Health care is one of the main services provided to a population by either public, i.e., taxpayer funded services or private services, typically paid for by individuals or their insurance companies. The task of providing health care services is multi-faceted. It starts with the usual hierarchical system that provides primary health care by a family physician, followed by (if required) a referral to either a specialist such as a dermatologist or a cardiologist, or services available in a regular or specialized hospital. For each hospital that is sited, the decision is whether to make it a general hospital that provides the usual services, a hospital that focuses on specialized illnesses, or any combination thereof. Either of these types of hospitals will be joined by an emergency system that includes emergency medical staff, ambulances, etc.
