摘要
This study aims to evaluate the technical efficiency levels of healthcare systems in underdeveloped countries and to reveal the impact of COVID-19 along with some other factors on the efficiency levels via a two-stage data envelopment analysis. The study covers panel data from 2013 to 2020. The results show that technical efficiency scores decreased during the pandemic period. It is also understood from the results that immunization and the ratio of population ages 65 and above have significant and negative effects on inefficiency scores while carbon dioxide emissions have significant and positive effects. It is thought that the results of this study can guide decision-makers regarding efficiency gains in healthcare systems.
