| Abstract: | The author analyses the optimum allocation of health care resources in the Mtwara region, Tanzania, for five different objectives: minimisation of death cases, minimisation of years of life lost, minimisation of incidence, minimisation of prevalence and minimisation of loss of quality of life. The different objective functions lead to completely different proposals of how to allocate health care resources. |
