  • Synopsis:
    People from the surrounding mountainous communities walk 4-6 hours each way to get to the hospital. Once they reach the hospital, they stand in line for hours to see a doctor and often return home unable to see a doctor because the line was too long. The hospital has requested you to propose a scheduling system that allows its community health centers to work with the hospital to schedule patients so that adequate care can be provided to all.
