ABSTRACT

The objective of this research is to provide forecasts to support managerial decision making in the department. The study provides forecasts for the patient load, physicians and beds needed with analysis of their current status. Historical data analysis indicates shortages in the number of physicians and beds which cause overcrowding. According to the forecasts the problem of overcrowding will reach alarming proportions. Therefore, immediate action should be taken to reduce the load on the department and divert the attendants with non-urgent or stable conditions to a complementary health centre
