To explore strategies to address the gap and uneven distribution of general practitioner(GP) resources from a provincial perspective, aiming to meet the growing medical needs of the people and advance the reform of the medical and health system.
Based on the provincial GP data from 2013-2022, Kernel density estimation was used to reveal the dynamic evolution of GP resources, while the spatial autocorrelation method was applied to explore their spatial correlation characteristics. Additionally, a spatial econometric model was used to investigate the direct impacts and spillover effects of the factors influencing general practitioner resources.
There is a positive autocorrelation in China’s general practitioner resources. Among the direct effects, urbanization rate and population density have a positive impact on general practitioner resources, while the elderly dependency ratio has a negative impact. In terms of indirect effects, urbanization rate, population density, the proportion of medical and health expenditure in fiscal expenditure, and the number of medical and health institutions all have a negative impact on general practitioner resources.
General practitioner resources in China are not randomly distributed spatially, and the spillover effects of influencing factors in adjacent areas can also impact general practitioner resources. It is recommended to focus on collaboration of medical resources and coordination of medical policies among different regions, promoting cross-regional communication and sharing of general practitioners.
