The present technology relates to a medical image processing apparatus, a medical image processing method, and a program that permit superimposition of images at an appropriate mixing ratio without deletion of detailed information. An acquisition section, a superimposition ratio calculation section, and a superimposition processing section are included. The acquisition section acquires a normal frame captured with normal light irradiated on a subject and a special frame captured with special light irradiated on the subject. The superimposition ratio calculation section calculates, on the basis of an intensity value of the special frame, a superimposition ratio indicating a ratio at which the normal frame and the special frame are superimposed. The superimposition processing section performs a superimposition process of superimposing the normal frame and the special frame on the basis of the superimposition ratio. The present technology is applicable to an image processing apparatus for medical use.
