Abstract: This study aims to determine health efficiencies of OECD countries by using fuzzy data envelopment analysis. For evaluation of efficiencies related to the countries, input variables that directly affect the health, environment variables and output variables are used. In the fuzzy data envelopment analysis, Wang, Greatbanks and Yang (2005)'s model is used. Solutions are conducted by forming interval data in the direction of Zimmermann (1991)’s ? - cut level approach. With fuzzy data envelopment analysis, upper and lower efficiency limits are obtained using five different ?- cut level. For each ?-cut level, maximum loss of efficiency value of decision making units are calculated by Minimax Regret Approach and countries with inefficient scores are listed from best to the worst. Accordingly, the best loss of efficiency value belongs to Austria and the worst value belongs to Hungary for 0; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75 ? - cut level. Turkey is located in the middle row (rows 21 and 23) among the 34 countries for 0; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75 ? - cut level and it is among the efficient countries for ?=1 cut level.
