6.Conclusion and prospect
The results show that: (1) In terms of the total amount of medical
resources, there are significant differences in medical resources among
regions in China. The total amount of medical resources in the western
region is much less than that in the eastern region, showing a situation
of ”more in the east and less in the west” as a whole. In Hebei,
Guangdong, Henan, Shandong and other populous provinces, they have a
large amount of medical resources. Beijing and Shanghai have great
advantages in medical and health financial resources, while Hainan,
Ningxia, Tibet, Qinghai and other remote areas are extremely backward in
terms of human, material and financial resources. (2) China’s
high-quality medical resources are extremely distributed: the top 100
hospitals are mainly distributed in the first tier and economically
developed cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which account
for half of the list of ”top 100 hospitals”. Nearly half of the
provinces in China have no hospitals on the ”Top 100” list, and the
trend of extreme distribution is obvious. (3) There is a large
difference in medical resources per capita in China. The three
northeastern provinces, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Sichuan, Beijing and
Shanghai have a high level of medical resources per capita. Anhui,
Jiangxi, Guangdong, Ningxia and other provinces have low levels of
medical resources per capita. (4) The per capita medical resources and
the total amount of medical resources in the region are not balanced.
Guangdong ranks first in the total amount of various medical resources
and has considerable advantages in the total amount, but the per capita
basic medical resources are the last in China.
In recent years, global public health events have occurred frequently,
and the development of medical and health undertakings in various
countries has faced new challenges. In terms of the development layout
of medical resources, more attention should be paid to the differences
between regions and provinces, and targeted strategies should be taken
to promote the balanced development of medical and health resources.
