- Background
Equity and efficiency in the allocation of health resources directly affects health equity and is a prerequisite for the achievement of health equity. This study analyzed the equity and efficiency of health resource allocation in Guangxi County to provide rational research evidence for improving the equity of health resource allocation in China and developing countries in the world. Methods: Gini coefficient and Malmquist index were used to evaluate the equity and efficiency of health resource allocation in Guangxi County. Fairness-Efficiency Index (FEI) model is constructed to analyze equity and efficiency together. Results: From 2015 to 2020, the Gini coefficient was in a relatively fair state. The total factor productivity of 14 cities in Guangxi is all less than 1. According to the size of the FEI value, the 14 cities in Guangxi can be divided into three classes: 1 city in Class I, 8 cities in Class II, and 5 cities in Class III. Conclusion: From 2015 to 2020, the geographical equity needs to be improved. The FEI of medical and health resource allocation in ethnic and border counties needs to be improved. It’s suggested that the government should establish a stable health development mechanism that is suitable for the undeveloped ethnic minority and border areas to increase the FEI.
