This paper aims to explore the application of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method in the evaluation of the medical and health system reform by establishing an evaluation index system. Index weights were determined by means of factor analysis and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), while fuzzy membership functions were used to determine the subordination grades of the evaluated objects on different indexes. Based on that, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation results and comprehensive scores of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in different subordination levels in China were obtained by constructing Multi-level Comprehensive Evaluation Model. The results indicated that the effect of the reform of the medical and health system was relevant to local economic development level to some extent, while both commonalities and differences exist in the results of comprehensive evaluation performance among different regions. To improve the performance of the medical and health system, practical and feasible reform measures need to be put forward based on local realities.
