Abstract
An important problem for the management of the screening program for cervical cancer is collecting the smears for women who live in remote areas. The issue is to plan the days in which the mobile unit will be used, and its route, such that the total cost and the testing time for all the eligible women are minimal. This paper presents a mathematical model for the Health-Economic problem and a Bellman type theorem for solving this model.
