Distribution of hospital beds in Tehran Province based on Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve from 2010 to 2012.
Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Fair distribution of hospital beds across various regions is a controversial subject. Resource allocation in health systems rarely has focused on those who need it most and, in addition, is often influenced by political interests. The study assesses the distribution of hospital beds in different regions in Tehran, Iran, during 2010-2012.
