Due to Covid-19 pandemic disease, people across the globe have faced many challenges to survive during infection. A large number of people who are infected have demised on roads, in their houses, ambulance, and hospitals due to acute shortage of bed facility, oxygen supply, ventilators, supply of medicines, doctors, and nurses.

Data for the problem have been collected from the various sources such as media, health bulletins, newspapers, and Google statistics. To provide sustainable emergency medical services to all the infected patients, a goal programming model using weighted primitive method and the problem is formulated to achieve the set goals and priorities. The developed problem was solved by using QM for windows software, and the results are discussed and concluded.
