Abstract

The mean technical efficiency of the health centers in East Gojjam zone, Northwest Ethiopia was high. However, nearly half of the health centers were technically inefficient, which indicates the exitance of a space for further improvements in the productivity of these health centers. Employing excess number administrative staffs (above the optimal level) should be discouraged and selecting appropriate sites where the health centers to be constructed (to have large catchment population coverage) could improve the productivity of health centers.
