Abstract

Diabetes is a major health challenge in India. The lifetime cost of treatment in the disease management is humongous. India is presently lacking at infrastructure and resources to meet the demand created by the sudden surge of the disease. This situation makes it imperative to optimally allocate the resources so that the treatment can be made available to a maximum number of patients at affordable cost. This paper uses fuzzy goal programming with exponential membership function for resource allocation. The human and financial resources are described with fuzzy conditions for determining the future strategies for unknown situations. A fuzzy goal programming model is demonstrated using the case study of an NGO working in the area of awareness and treatment of diabetes in Varanasi.
