Abstract：Objective:To study on regional differences of technical efficiency under medical and health system in China, and analyze on the influence factors of technical efficiency. Methods: Based on the provincial panel data from 2002 to 2011, the stochastic frontier production function of healthcare system was established for empirical analysis. Results and Conclusion: Overall, the average technical efficiency of medical and health system in China presented an increasing tendency, however, a significant difference was found in regional efficiency. The non-efficiency of medical and health system in different areas could be reduced by the proportion of tertiary hospitals in all medical institutions, the ratio of profit-making medical institutions in all medical institutions and the population density;while the influences of highway density and per capital education year on technical efficiency in different areas are different.
