The paper also focuses on following-up supply and demand in PHCCs; managing various health care (HC) facilities in accordance to the criteria and standards of Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) on the integration of remote sensing data and geographic information system GIS from geographic and HC view, for the best treatment service. El-Salam medical region, Cairo, Egypt has been selected as a study area to perform this research. It is a densely populated urban area. The proposed methodology involved many procedures, based on using satellite images, GIS, demographic, health data and field data. The obtained results showed that there was shortage in PHC centers in the selected study area. This shortage is more theoretical than practical, as the research concluded that there are many other governorate and private health service, which should be studied in details.
