RESUMO
Objective To analyze the allocation and equity of Class-A and Class-B large medical equipment in Shanghai, and to compare them with those in other parts of China and in other OECD countries. Methods The data of large medical equipments were collected from the Health and Family Planning Commission of Shanghai, government websites, relevant research reports and the database of OECD. Gene-coefficients were adopted to evaluate the equity of large equipment allocation. Results In terms of Class-A and Class B large equipments like CTs, MRIs and DSAs per million population, the number for Shanghai by the end of 2015, was 1.325, 5.30, 2.13 and 3.81 units respectively. Except for CTs, this figure was higher than national average, yet lower than average of other OECD countries. In addition, the equity in allocation of Class-B large medical equipment was better than that of Class-A large medical equipment in Shanghai. Conclusions The overall deployment level of large medical equipments in Shanghai remains to be increased, and the equity in allocation of Class-A large medical equipment deserves more attention.
