Description
Minghua Zhou, writing alone in 2025, analyzed how fairly total health spending was spread in China from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty-one. Spending splits into government, social, and out-of-pocket parts. Fairness was judged with standard indices, and regions were compared against the national average for health resources.
Government funds made up just over a quarter of spending on average, with social funds the largest share. All spending types leaned toward richer groups, and most financing was judged regressive, though social spending shifted over time. The east and center sat above the national resource standard, while the west fell well below it. Income per person and health staff numbers were the main drivers of spending levels.
