Abstract
This article aims to develop a methodology in which alternative projects are prioritized and selected using appropriate methods of multi-criteria decision-making in organizations responsible for managing and developing health infrastructure. This study addresses a particular gap in implementing a systematic methodology for prioritizing and selecting projects in the health sector. The methodology developed proposes an approach based on the AHP multi-criteria decision support method for decision-makers and stakeholders to prioritize and select projects in the health sector. The problem was modeled using the Expert Choice software which allows a good “integration of the decision-maker” in the decision-making process making it possible to intervene in the research and decisions to identify the most efficient and potentially profitable health projects that are useful to the community.
