Abstract:Objective To analyze the development status and equity of traditional Chinese medicine medical resources allocation in Tianjin from 2011 to 2020, and to provide suggestions for the development of traditional Chinese medicine health undertakings in Tianjin. Methods Data on the allocation of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, hospital beds, and health technicians in Tianjin during 2011—2020 were obtained from Tianjin Health Statistics. Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the overall situation of traditional Chinese medicine medical resource allocation in Tianjin, and Gini coefficient and difference index were used to evaluate the fairness of traditional Chinese medicine medical resource allocation in Tianjin. Results During 2011—2020, the total amount of traditional Chinese medicine medical resources and the possession of each thousand population in Tianjin had increased greatly, and the three types of resources had increased by more than 50%. The Gini coefficients of population, geography and gross domestic product (GDP) were all >0.4, except for some indicators in some years. The difference index calculated by geography was >0.5, the difference index calculated by population was <0.5, and the difference index calculated by GDP was 0.4-0.6. The Gini coefficient and the difference index of beds by population decreased from 0.40 to 0.39, but the Gini coefficient and difference index of beds by population and geographical allocation increased, and the Gini coefficient and difference index of institutional allocation increased by more than 30%, while the equity of resource allocation decreased. The Gini coefficient and difference index of GDP allocation decreased by 3%-12%, and the fairness of resource allocation increased. Conclusion We should change the management mode of traditional Chinese medicine medical resources, strengthen the allocation of resources in remote and rural areas, control the expansion of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in economically developed areas, and achieve the expansion of high-quality traditional Chinese medicine medical resources and a balanced regional layout.
