Abstract

Background: TCM plays an important role in ensuring people's health and developing TCM undertakings. However, some studies have shown that the current allocation of TCM and health resources in China is relatively poor, and there are few regional research literature. Objective: To analyze the status and fairness of TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) resources in Guizhou Province and provide evidence-based basis for health administrative departments. Methods: The status of TCM resources in Guizhou and the fairness of Lorentz curve, gini coefficient and health density index. Results: From 2010 to 2019, The TCM and health resources in Guizhou province have increased year by year, The average annual growth rate of TCM doctors per 1,000 people and their ownership per 100 square kilometer was 13.88% and 14.43%, respectively; Regarding the Gini coefficient, By population distribution is mainly located at 0.2-0.4, By area, the distribution is mostly below 0.3, The Gini coefficient of the economic distribution showed an overall downward trend, In 2019, Chinese pharmacists had the lowest economic distribution (0.093), The highest distribution by population distribution of practicing (assistant) physicians in 2015 (0.523); In terms of density-based exponential growth, In 2019, The highest bed density in Guizhou Province (0.3506), The lowest density of mechanism number (0.0016). Conclusion: The resources grow overall, but the total amount is relatively small; the region is unbalanced; the fairness by economic allocation is better than allocation by population than allocation by area. Therefore, the health administrative departments perform their functions, optimize the resource structure, strengthen the layout of TCM industry, give full play to the local characteristics, and stimulate the potential of TCM and health services.
