| Abstract | ||||
| The selection of site for Health services is difficult, complicated, and protracted process, which requires determining different criteria for assessment. In Upper Egypt, there are no clear standards or certified criteria for a sustainable distribution of health services. Therefore, there is a crucial need to determine clear and specific standards to ensure a sustainable distribution of health services.. This study aims to identify and prioritize the criteria that affect sustainable distribution of health services in Upper Egypt (Aswan), using an Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) survey. Research findings show that the urban standards are the most important criterion, followed by the environmental criterion, then social criterion, and the economical criterion, respectively. The study identified 12 sub criteria based on the literature review the contribution of this work lays in presenting a framework that could guide decision-makers, simply and comprehensively, in their attempt to promote sustainability. | ||||
