| Abstract | Background China had proposed the unification of equity and efficiency since the launch of the new round of health system reform in 2009. And the central government gave priority to the development of primary health care (PHC) whilst ensuring its availability and improving its efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the changes of equity and efficiency in PHC resource allocation (PHCRA) and explored ways to improve the current situation. Methods The data of this study came from the China Health Statistical Yearbook (2013–2017) and China Statistical Yearbook (2017). Three and five indicators were used to measure equity and efficiency, respectively. The Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient (G), Theil index (T) and health resource density index (HRDI) were used to assess equity in demographic and geographical dimensions. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) were chosen to measure the efficiency and productivity of PHCRA. Results From 2012 to 2016, the total amount of PHCR had increased year by year. The Gs by population size were below 0.2 and that by geographical area were between 0.6 and 0.7. T had the same trend with G, and intra-regional contribution rates were higher than inter-regional contribution rates, which were all beyond 60%. From 2012 to 2016, the numbers of provinces that achieved an effective DEA were 4, 3, 4, 5 and 5, respectively. The mean of the total factor productivity index was 0.994. Conclusion The equity of PHCRA in terms of population size is superior in the geographical area. Intra-regional differences are the main source of inequality. The eastern region has the highest density of PHCR, whereas the western region has the lowest. In addition, PHC institutions in more than 80% of the provinces are inefficient, and the productivity of the institutions decline by 0.6% from 2012 to 2016 because of technological retrogression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
