Abstract:Objective To investigate and analyze the distribution and equity of public health resources in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2020, so as to provide theoretical basis for rational allocation of public health resources under normal epidemic prevention and control. Methods In June 2022, data of public health resources in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the whole country were collected, and the fairness of public health resources allocation was analyzed using Lorentz curve, Gini coefficient, and Theil index were used to analyse. Results In terms of population distribution, the Gini coefficient of various resources in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was less than 0.4, and the Theil index of public health technicians was the smallest (0.028 462 957). In terms of geographical area allocation, only the number of public health institutions in eastern Mongolia was less than 0.3, the number of public health technicians, practicing (assistant) physicians and registered nurses were 0.3-0.4, the Gini coefficient of various resources in other regions was more than 0.4, and the Theil index of public health institutions was the smallest (0.433 042 879). Conclusion There is a gap between the growth rate of public health resources in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the national average level. The fairness of population allocation is better than that of geographical area allocation, and the inequality of resource allocation mainly comes from within the region.
