Abstract:
The health workforce plays an important role in the development of township hospitals. It builds up the comprehensive evaluation index system as the first time, based on data of township hospitals from 29 provinces, to evaluate the allocation of the health workforce in primary medical institutions in rural China. The empirical results show that the core workforce allocation of Chinese township hospitals has largely focused on the local health status, which shows good fairness of allocation. Meanwhile, the equity level of the core workforce allocation is not far behind the overall fairness level, and both are slightly higher than the critical value. The core workforce allocation is in good consistency with the local level of economic development.
