Özet:

The COVID-19 virus, which appeared in China in December 2019 and quickly spread throughout the world, has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore, the treatment of such a infectious and fatal disease is of great importance in equipped health facilities, without infection to healthy individuals and in a way that protects the health of all people. In this study, on the observation of cases in Turkey, the aim of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey is to evaluate the criteria that are effective in the selection of 25 reference hospitals determined for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and to classify these criteria according to their importance degrees. In the assessment, the 25 reference hospitals were determined by examining the seven criteria, the characteristics of the COVID-19 virus and the published guidelines and reports. The criteria were then compared and emphasized with the criteria from the methods of Multi-Meteral Decision Making (MOD) and the methods of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytical Network Process (ANP). As a result of the study, the same results were obtained in both methods and the conclusion was that, considering the three most important criteria, the equipment of health institutions in the fight against the epidemic, both technical and personnel, is very important in this process. Following these results, it was observed that similar results were achieved with the AHP method when it was considered to have internal and external dependencies between the ANP method and the criteria.
