Spatial econometric analysis of health workforce distribution and its influencing factors in Inner Mongolia, China
Health workforce allocation in Inner Mongolia shows significant spatial disparities, with decreasing clustering over time, indicating reduced regional heterogeneity. Disposable income, bed density, and fiscal self-sufficiency positively affect HW and exhibit notable spatial associations, while population density has a negative impact. To optimize allocation, policies should enhance regional collaboration and resource sharing, increase fiscal support and promote medical alliances.
