Abstract:
Objective:To explore the spatiotemporal evolution and convergence trend of the level of health resource supply in the Yangtze River Delta Region,and to provide quantitative support for the formulation of health resource supply policies.Methods:Using Dagum Gini coefficient,kernel density estimation,Markov chain,and spatial β convergence model to analyze the regional differences,dynamic evolution,and convergence of health resource supply levels in the Yangtze River Delta.Results:From 2010 to 2022,the level of health resource supply in the Yangtze River Delta maintained an increasing trend,with overall differences,intra regional and inter regional differences all showing a narrowing trend.Inter regional differences contributed the most,and Anhui Province's development was relatively balanced.There is a weak polarization phenomenon in the Yangtze River Delta as a whole,and the balance in Zhejiang has improved in the later stage.The spatial factors significantly affect the dynamic evolution process of the supply level of health resources in the Yangtze River Delta,with obvious positive spillover effects,and the supply level has β convergence characteristics.Conclusion:It is needed to promote the comprehensive development of regional economy,accelerate the improvement of the supply level of health resources in underdeveloped areas,and narrow the gap.At the same time,it needs to enhance spatial interaction between regions and pay attention to the positive spillover effects in areas with higher supply levels.
