Abstract
The equity of health resource allocation is crucial to the sustainable development of regional health undertakings. This study uses methods such as health resource agglomeration degree, Theil index and Moran's index to measure the equity of health resource allocation in Yibin and Luzhou. The results show that the equity of health resource allocation in the two cities is insufficient, and there is a large gap in the allocation level among various districts and counties. The health resource allocation in Yibin is more reasonable than that in Luzhou. At the same time, the allocation of health resources in the two cities is in a random distribution state, there are no obvious spatial correlation characteristics, and the impact between adjacent districts and counties is small. Therefore, this study suggested that Yibin should further improve the level of health resource allocation, Luzhou should scientifically evaluate the demand for health resources in each district and county, and further optimize the layout of health resources. In the meantime, the two cities should strengthen the coordinated allocation of health resources and the two cities should cooperate to improve the equity of health resource allocation.
