Health Service Assessment in Dehradun City using Geoinformatics

Nowadays, time is considered as valuable as gold. People, who want to go for Hospitals/Clinics in different places as patient, may need to have some information about those places (Hospitals/Clinics). Determining the shortest routes to the healthcare places from their accommodations will be both time saving and economical. But transportation of a patient to hospital in emergency seems quite simple but in actual it is pretty difficult during peak hours. A significant operation for the handling of emergency incidents is the routing of responding vehicles to incident sites and then to the closest appropriate hospitals. GIS technology can support emergency responders to provide efficient response in quick response time through solving the steering problems. So the study was carried out for Dehradun city, where there are an optimum healthcare facilities with a large inflow of men/women and tourist both foreign and domestic.
