Abstract
Setting priorities of sectors in an emergency intervention is an important unit to improve the healthcare management of a city. The goal of this paper is to prioritise sectors in Rabat region of Morocco when two or more emergency calls are received in call centres of hospitals using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). This prioritisation is based on social, demographic and proximity criteria that lead to rank the 10 sectors of the region. The paper shows that the proposed AHP methodology is consistent and allows a real ranking of Rabat sectors.
