Abstract
Objective:Through comparing per capita allocation level of health resources in 31 provinces of China, the characteristics and the influencing factors of health resource allocation in each province are reveled. Methods: Selecting 7 representative indexes and using cluster analysis methods to divide per capita allocation level of 31 provinces into 5 grades; the influencing factors of per capita allocation level are proposed based on 5 grades and the ordered Probit model is built and estimated. Results: Beijing, Shanghai and Tibet respectively marked the first, the fourth and the fifth grade, 7 provinces ( including Tianjin) belong to the second grade, 21 provinces ( including Hebei ) belong to the third grade; four factors such as per capita GDP , family disposable income and so on all significantly affect per capita allocation level. Conclusion: Economic development and per capita allocation level of health resources are not balanced. The proportion of government health expenditure is negatively correlated with per capita allocation level of health resources.
