Abstract

BACKGROUND: With the progress of economic and social development, the demand for healthcare has increased, making the rational allocation of health resources and the efficient utilization of services crucial for public health. However, mismatches between resource allocation and service utilization have led to strain on resources. This study aims to assess the spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors of the coupling coordination between health resource allocation (HRA) and health service utilization (HSU) in China, contributing to the realization of the "Healthy China" strategy.
