Abstract

The level of development in health is an important criterion for countries. In a study aimed at measuring the performance of the health system in Azerbaijan on a provincial basis, the change in health efficiency of 56 cities between 2015-2019 was analyzed with the Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index (MPI). As an input variable, the number of hospital beds, the number of health workers and the number of physicians were used in the provinces. The values used in input variables are figures per 10,000 people. As an output variable, the number of deaths of infants (under 1 year old), the number of deaths and the number of outpatient clinics were determined. The values used in the output variables are figures per 1000 people. The average MPI scores of the provinces covered by the study were 0.998 in 2015-2016, 1.002 in 2016-2017, 1.036 in 2017-2018 and 1.027 in 2018-2019. Out of the sample cluster of 56 provinces, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) increased in 36 (64.29%), remained constant in 1 (1.79%) and decreased in 19 (33.93%). Furthermore, TFP values were highest in Qazakh (20.6%), Aghdam (12,7) and Dashkesen (12,2). As a result of the study, it was found that there was an increase in productivity levels during the time period when the health performance of the provinces in Azerbaijan was evaluated. For this reason, it is proposed to develop actions and policies aimed at improving performance in low-productivity provinces and to allocate resources taking into account social needs.
