Objective;To explore the trend of structural changes in the allocation of health human resources and the disparities across provinces in China,providing references for optimizing resource allocation.Methods:Using health professionals such as practicing(assistant)physicians,registered nurses,pharmacists,and technicians as evaluation indicators,this study comprehen-sively analyzes the allocation of health human resources in China from 2017 to 2021 using the structural change degree method and rank sum ratio(RSR)method.Results:The number of registered nurses in China has been continuously increasing,showing a positive trend.The growth rate of practicing(assistant)physicians has slowed down.The structure of pharmacists and technicians o-verall shows a negative change.According to the RSR method's best classification principle,the health human resources allocation in China's 31 provinces can be divided into five categories:least,relatively less,medium,relatively more,and most.Conclusion:There are structural imbalances and significant regional disparities in the allocation of health human resources in China.It is recom-mended to further expand the scale of physicians,increase the supply of nursing services,strengthen the training of pharmacists and technicians,and coordinate regional development.
