title: A theoretical model for the optimal allocation of health resources in Greece.
abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model that enables us to rate the efficiency of health resources in different regions. The model is based on the theory of production and refers to two specific regions. The hypotheses that determine the relationship between health care resources and their indicators are examined as well as the necessary conditions for the optimal regional allocation of these resources.
