Abstract : The health system is defined as a logically organised group of assets, personnel, and organisations that provide medicaltreatment to a particular population in accordance with the financing, supervision, and provision of healthcare services. Due to the significance of good health, many health centres have been constructed in Kerala. The majority of people who visit hospitals do not know what medical services are provided there, and many of them are not aware of the services that are now provided by the medical industry or where they could obtain them. Patients may occasionally have problems moving to another health centre because of a lack of amenities at the current one.By designing and creating a web-based map named MED-E- ASSIST to categorise public health facilities in Kerala using GIS, by supporting users in finding information and health facilities, this project addressed the previously mentioned problem. Using the website MED-E-ASSIST, the user can locate the medicalfacility where they receive the proper care. The UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) paradigm from business informatics, which gives access to specific usage patterns, is used to gauge how well an innovation is received by users. According to UTAUT, behavioural intention determines how technology is actually used. Every public health facility in a region is represented on a web map by the project, which groups facilities according to the services they provide. The website also provides details on the open slots for each service.
