Abstract—Readily available authentic Information about services and facilities are very vital to the Citizens. In case of Hospitals, the information is still more critical as even the slightest delay in decision making can have serious impacts. Such a comprehensive information base is absent in the case of the services and facilities offered by hospitals. The present study aims at developing a GIS based information system for all available services and facilities of hospitals in city. GIS allows the integration of geographic and non-geographic (attribute) information to facilitate realistic decision making. The GIS environment also allows exploring the availability of services, various options based on proximity, availability of doctors, etc., in a user friendly interactive interface.
