MethodsDescriptive analysis, Ascend and Descend Trends Test and ratio analysis were used to compare medical resource allocation and utilization efficiency at different development phases. ResultsCurrently health resources per capita in Guangzhou are close to those in developed countries or areas, but relative shortage derived from demand-driven increase still exists. There is a central tendency toward big comprehensive hospitals, the quality of medical resources is rather low, and efficiency of medical services tends to descend. ConclusionIt showed that when the government making plans on medical resources allocation, strict entry regulation should be reinforced, the standard of medical resource quality should be improved, appropriate space should be left for further development. Medical resources should be directed to reallocate to communities and rural areas in a right way, medical service efficiency and accessibility should be improved.
