In addition, this study also analyzes social health expenditures per THE and the structure of health financing of 31 regions in China during the same period. Findings highlight a rising trend of THE and a share of government health expenditures in THE. A variation of social health expenditures per THE and per capita government expenditures were observed across regions. The study suggests the policy adjustment by regions to address equity in health financing.
