The capacity and influencing factors of primary health care services in China

The overall capacity of primary health care services in China is not high, and regional disparities are substantial. The capacity of primary health care services is better in Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Beijing and worse in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and Tibet. The population density and number of health technicians per 1,000 people are the main factors affecting the capacity of primary health care services in China.
