Abstract. This work considers some procedures to assess the adequacy of fixed assets for Health Care facilities activity. In terms of effectiveness, equitable distribution examines whether limited resources are directed toward improving the health of the population in the delivery of health care services. Assessing the adequacy of health care resources examines the extent to which resources are used to provide health system outcomes and/or achieve health system goals. The results of such an assessment: on the one hand can prevent waste of limited health care resources, and another hand to increase effectiveness of health care services.

Keywords: health care, facilities, nonfinancial assets, assessing, adequacy, effectiveness, efficacy, evaluation.
