Objective To analyze the status and equity of the deployment of general practitioners in Henan Province from 2018 to 2022,and put forward rational policy recommendations to enhance the fairness of general practitioner resource allocation in Henan Province.Methods Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the resource allocation of general practitioners in Henan province,and Theil index was used to analyze the balance of general practitioners in Henan province.Results In 2022,Henan Province's total number of general physicians per 10 000 population was 3.08.The Theil index in 2018-2022 was 0.051 8,0.047 6,0.035 3,0.036 4,0.029 5.The contribution rate between groups in 2022 reached 69.83%.Conclusion The Theil index of general practitioners in Henan Province has shown a decreasing trend year by year,indicating an overall move towards equity.However,there is a high contribution rate of inter-group differences,indicating imbalanced development of general practitioners among different regions.To address this,it is recommended to enhance the deployment of general practitioners in less developed areas through optimizing resource allocation,innovating training mechanisms,establishing assistance systems,and optimizing incentive mechanisms.
