In supporting health sector development, necessary for government expenditure led to improvement human resource quality in health, education, and income.

Environment Factors in Tobil Regeression are population and poverty.
Result of this research according to DEA analysis indicated that all provinces in Indonesia fluctuated in leveraging expenditure to achieve efficiency and optimally health sector development. Eastern Indonesia possess high level of efficiency. Although health expenditure is relatively small, there has been allocated optimally.
