Abstract

This internship program investigated using Minimum Breadth-First Search (MBFS) to optimize healthcare facility placement in rural areas. A program was developed to find placements that minimize travel distance for residents. The MBFS algorithm explored possible facility locations within a grid-based model representing a rural area. The location with the lowest score was identified as optimal. This project contributes to improving healthcare access in rural areas by suggesting MBFS as a tool for optimizing facility placement.
