Abstract:
Objective:The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the equity and utilization efficiency of public health resource allocation in 31 provinces and cities in China, and provides reference and basis for public health resource allocation planning. Methods:The allocation of public health resources was evaluated by cluster anal-ysis and used data envelopment analysis was to explore the efficiency of public health resource allocation. Results:The degree of aggregation of public health resources in densely populated and economically developed provinces and cities were greater than or close to 1 , and the difference with the population concentration was mostly less than 0 . The degrees of aggregation in less economically backward provinces were less than 1 , and the difference with the popula-tion concentration was mostly more than 0 . The average technical efficiency of public health resource allocation was 0. 44, and the mean of pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency were 0. 74 and 0. 64 respectively. Conclusion:The degrees of aggregation of public health resources in economically developed provinces and cities are higher, but the corresponding population is poorly distributed based on population distribution. For economically backward prov-inces and cities, the geographical availability of public health resources is poor. In addition, due to unreasonable re-source allocation structure and proportion, public health resources configuration efficiency is relatively low.
