This research aims to improve healthcare access by strategically expanding community healthcare centres in West Java.
Utilized an ARIMA model to forecast population growth through 2045.
Estimated CHC demand using spatial grid and population density data.
Developed three mixed-integer linear programming models to optimize CHC locations.
Forecast model indicates a steady rise in demand for healthcare services in Bandung, with hotspots in underserved areas identified.
MILP model scenarios show that new CHC placements significantly enhance service coverage and reduce access disparities.
Simulations suggest that equitable CHC arrangements improve accessibility for marginalized populations through better resource alignment.
