Forecast: External Resources for Health in China

The external resources for health as a percentage of total health expenditure in China showed a continual decline from 2015 through 2019, dropping from 0.03 to 0.0026. This reflects a steep negative trend with an average annual decrease of approximately 48% over this period. The decline suggests a reduced reliance on outside funding or support for health expenditures, potentially due to increasing domestic investments or policy changes towards self-sufficiency in healthcare financing.

- Watch for potential stabilization or further reduction in external funding dependence as China continues economic growth.

- Monitor domestic health expenditure trends to assess their impact on overall health resource allocation.

- Attention should be given to policy reforms that could affect the funding composition in healthcare.
