Description
Hongrui Cui, Qingli Tan, and Xiaoshan Liu published a 2026 numbers-based study of gaps in health care across China's regions. Stories about rich coasts and poor inland areas are common, but fair yardsticks are rare. The team gathered province data from 2012 to 2021 and chose eighteen medical service gauges for a close look in 2021.
Factor math boiled the gauges down into service scores, cluster math grouped provinces by level, and gap indexes tracked how lopsided the spread of staff and gear was. Large gaps appeared, with the lowest service levels in poorer regions and the west and center of China shortest on supplies. The authors offer the rankings as a guide for reforms that aim to place staff, beds, and gear where need is greatest.
