Abstract:
Objective:To explore the regional differences,spatial correlation and influencing factors of the supply level of public health resources in China from 2012 to 2021,and to provide reference for optimising the allocation of public health resources.Methods:The entropy method was used to measure the comprehensive score of the level of supply of public health resources,and the Dagum Gini coefficient and spatial autocorrelation model were used to analyze the regional differences and spatial correlation of the supply level,and combined with the regression model of the panel data,the factors affecting the level of supply were explored.factors.Results:From 2012 to 2021,the supply level of public health resources in China showed an overall upward trend,but there were significant inter-provincial differences,presenting an"east low,west high"pattern.Regional disparities were the main reason for the national imbalance in supply levels.The spatial autocorrelation model showed a significant positive correlation in the supply level,with a distribution characterized by high-high and low-low agglomeration.The increase of financial autonomy has a promoting effect on the improvement of the supply level of public health resources.Conclusion:China should focus on narrowing the regional disparities in the supply level of professional public health resources,changing the pattern of"east low,west high",and promoting the synergistic development within and outside the region.Local governments should increase their financial autonomy and decide on the allocation and management of public health resources according to the actual situation of the region,soasto improve the level of public health resource supply.
