Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the structural changes and influencing factors of Total Health Expenditure(THE)in Inner Mongolia from 2008 to 2023,and provide references for formulating and adjusting relevant health policies in the region.Methods:Structural change degree analysis was used to examine the financing structure of THE,while principal component regression was employed to identify the influencing factors of THE.Results:From 2008 to 2023,THE in Inner Mongolia showed continuous growth,with a significant increase in per capita health expenditure,though there is still room for improvement compared with other regions.Government health expenditure and social health expenditure generally showed positive changes,while individual health expenditure showed negative changes.Per capita disposable income,urbanization rate,and per capita regional GDP were positively correlated with THE,while natural population growth rate and hospital bed utilization rate were negatively correlated with THE.Conclusion:THE in Inner Mongolia continued to grow from 2008 to 2023,but problems such as insufficient government investment and the need to optimize the financing structure existed.Given that economic factors dominate THE growth,it is recommended to achieve reasonable control of THE by improving the efficiency of health resources.
