Fast and appropriate accessibility to Emergency Room (IGD) facilities was a crucial factor in handling critical, life-threatening conditions. This study aimed to determine the optimal IGD location by applying the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method. This research utilized data from 23 hospitals equipped with IGD facilities distributed across 13 districts in Palembang City. The evaluation was conducted based on three main criteria, service level, travel distance, and travel time from each district to the hospitals with IGD facilities. The results presented the top three hospital recommendations (ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) for each district, which provided definite priority options for the community. Practically, these recommendations served as a significant strategic foundation for policymakers and the Health Office in planning health service distribution and ensuring more effective, data-driven emergency mitigation in Palembang City.
