Health resource allocation equity analysis in Shenzhen from 2013 to 2022
Aim:To analyze the equity of health resources allocation in Shenzhen from 2013 to 2022.Methods:Lorentz curve,Gini coefficient and agglomeration degree were used to analyze the equity of health resource allocation of Shenzhen from 2013 to 2022,from 3 aspects including number of health technicians,number of beds and number of medical institu-tions.Results:The main health resources in Shenzhen showed increasing trend from 2013 to 2022.Gini coefficients of the number of health technicians allocated by resident population,geographical area and GDP in 2022 were 0.155 4,0.368 3 and 0.163 5,respectively;Gini coefficients of the number of beds were 0.268 3,0.457 5 and 0.300 8;and Gini coefficients of the number of medical institutions were 0.071 5,0.272 2 and 0.205 7.Except Luohu District and Futian District,the health resources of other administrative districts were relatively lacking.Conclusion:From 2013 to 2022,the equity of Shenzhen's health resources allocation by population and GDP is better than that by geographical area.The allocation of health resources in Luohu District and Futian District is relatively rich.
