Objective:To analyse the status of collaborative development of the traditional Chinese medicine health service in-dustry in 9 cities in the Pearl River Delta region from 2015 to 2020,and to provide reference for promoting high-quality collabora-tive development of the traditional Chinese medicine health service industry in 9 cities in the PRD region.Methods:The entropy method was used to measure the development status of the TCM health service industry in the 9 cities in the PRD region,and the inter-regional correlation coefficient and coefficient of variation were used to evaluate their collaborative development status.Results:In 2015,the development levels of TCM health services in Guangzhou and Shenzhen were 0.534 and 0.210 respectively,while the remaining seven cities were below 0.100,by 2020,Guangzhou and Shenzhen grew to 0.797 and 0.414 respectively,while the remaining seven cities grew but were still below 0.150.The correlation coefficients of the overall level of collaborative develop-ment status of TCM health services as well as most of the first-level indicators are positive,and there is an overall positive synergy effect.The coefficient of dispersion of the comprehensive level of collaborative development of the TCM health service industry in the nine cities in the PRD region grew from 0.177 to 0.280 during the period 2015-2020,with a downward trend in the overall level of collaborative development.Conclusion:The overall level of the TCM health service industry in the PRD has shown an upward trend,but there is an obvious step-wise difference and the status of the collaborative development in the dimension of innovativeness presents a stepped"siphon effect",while the status of the collaborative development in the dimension of radiance is unbalanced,but the cohesive dimension actively promotes the synergistic development of the TCM health service industry,so the PRD still needs to continuously improve the level of synergistic development of the TCM health service industry.
