Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that is currently the main concern of the international community. Therefore, it takes a quick initial handling to deal with this dengue fever so as not to cause an increasingly severe disease. One of the initial handling that can be done to overcome the spread of dengue virus is by way of allocating patients to the hospital. to facilitate the allocator of the patient, the patient is allocated from the puskesmas to the hospital. in this case we can conclude puskesmas become a tool to refer patient to hospital. mathematical models are designed to: (1) minimize patient distance to the hospital; and (2) the addition of resources in the event of a surge in the patient's handling request. By minimizing the expected distance the patient costs less. The high demand for patient handling has an effect on the lack of room capacity in each hospital, so it is proposed that each hospital provides 30% of the overall capacity when infectious disease symptoms occur.
