RESUMEN
Objective:Analyzing the inequality and the changing trend of the distribution of health resources in China,and discussing the convergence path of the regional health resources.Methods:Using the Theil index and geographical statistical methods to analyze the inequality and changing trend of health resources.The Beta convergence model of regional health resources was estimated through panel GLS method.Results:The inequality of health resources in the whole country and in the eastern,central and western regions showed a gradual improvement trend.The health resources in the eastern region were richer and more balanced than the central and western regions.If the non-conditioned Beta convergence of regional health resources was not established,the initial health resource differences would not tend to be balanced with time.If the conditioned Beta convergence of regional health resources was established,increased financial expenditure on health care and increased regional financial freedom would drive regional health resources into the convergence path.Conclusion:It was necessary to increase the financial support for local public health,and promote the development of the regional medical and health care.
