Abstract

Reaching dispersed island populations with regular health services is a logistics challenge. We formulate mobile clinic routing as a periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows and solve it with a hybrid genetic algorithm. Applied to a district of 27 islands, the schedule raised population coverage from 61% to 89% with the same fleet.
