Abstract

Background and Aim: Equitable Distribution of health sector resources has always been one of the major challenges of this sector. Due to health care needs, equitable Distribution of physicians is a determining factor in health system policies. The purpose of this study was to investigate justice in the Distribution of General Practitioners and specialists in Khuzestan province in 2018. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Population data were collected through the Statistical Center of Iran, and the number of physicians was obtained through deputies of Health, Treatment, and Development of Human Resources, IRI Medical Council, and Provincial Management and Planning Organization. Then, using equity indices(per 1000-people population), Gini Coefficient and Lorenz curve, equity in physician Distribution was investigated. Gini Coefficient and Lorenz curve were applied using Excel software. Results: Hendijan(0. 5) and Haftkel(0. 49) had the highest General Practitioner to population ratio, but Khorarmshahr(0. 12) and Mahshahr(0. 11) had the lowest. Karun city had the highest ratio of specialist physicians to population with 0. 75 and Bavi(0. 04), Hamidieh(0. 05) and Lali(0. 07) had the lowest. Gini Coefficient of Received: Sep 2019 Accepted: Mar 2020 General Practitioner and specialist in the province were 0. 19 and 0. 33, respectively. The distance between the Distribution curves of General Practitioners and specialists and the equality line in the Lorenz curve confirms these coefficients. Conclusion: The ratio of General Practitioners to specialists in the whole province is low, but the Distribution of General Practitioners and specialists has been relatively equitable. Provincial health policy makers and managers should pay special attention to increasing the ratio of General Practitioners and specialists in the province's cities.
