ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the productivity of township health services in Guangzhou.Methods:
We use a nonparametric Malmquist index approach to analyze total factor productivity change in Guangzhou’s township health service. The panel data was collected between 2009 and 2013.Results:
The average growth rate of Guangzhou’s township health service was 18 . 7% from 2009 to 2013 . This growth was mainly due to improved technical progress but not technical efficiency. Pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency have not developed simultaneously.Conclusion:
The change in the total factor productivity was positively affected by technical progress, not by strategic management and business decisions inside township health centers.
