Efficiency analysis of oral health resource allocation in public medical institutions in Yunnan Province at the end of the 13th five-year plan in China

On the whole, the efficacy in leveraging oral health resources within public medical institutions throughout Yunnan Province was deemed relatively commendable. Nonetheless, notable disparities among prefectures (or cities) persisted, characterized by an excessive concentration of premium resources. Ineffective resource utilization coexisted with inadequate distribution. It is recommended to customize the distribution of oral health resources in each area according to local conditions, facilitate the decentralization of premium resources, and enhance the capacity of oral medical services.
