Summary/Abstract: The study aims at providing actual answers to some questions on the health care productivity evaluation, regarding both material resources and human resources, as key components in the provision of the intellect-intensive services such as direct effects and complexes derived from their conduct. In this empirical research we had considered several objectives: (i) establishing the influence of the health care productivity on the populations` health, (ii) assessing the impact of government decisions on the functionality of the medical system, (iii) identifying the influence of human resource in the effective exercise of medical services and (iv) examinating the extent to which the common action of the factorial variables affects productivity of medical services. The research results reveal a useful mathematical device for health care productivity research at a macroeconomical level, that may be true for the extension of the econometric analysis at the micro level.
