Figure 5. Distribution of high-quality medical resources in 31 provinces of China.
As shown in Figure 5, the regional color level represents the comprehensive score of the top 100 hospitals in the region, which can reflect the quality of medical and health resources in the region. From the regional perspective, most provinces and cities in the west, northwest and southwest of China do not have a top 100 hospital, and the comprehensive score is zero. Superior medical resources are concentrated in the central and eastern regions of China. Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Hubei and Guangdong are all regions with relatively developed high-quality medical resources. Obviously, there are great differences in the distribution of high-quality medical and health resources between the eastern and western regions.
