            Abstract : 
In this paper, we will deal with the problem of transporting patients in a hospital taking into account additional constraints such as dependencies between tasks and empty moves between missions of transporting are taken into consideration. We first studied the state of the art on the hospital sector mainly the stretching, its characteristics and its setbacks. Second, we modeled the problem with mathematical programming taking into account constraints. Then we solved this model with LINGO solver and we ended up with a set of experiments on the model and a sensitivity analysis.
