Objective: To analyze the equity and changing trend of intensive care beds resource distribution in China, and to provide a reference for the government to optimize the allocation of health resources. Methods: Theil index and Gini coefficient analytical methods were used to evaluate the equity of the intensive care beds resource allocation in China according to geographic area, population and economic level. Results: The total number of critically ill beds in China is increasing from 2015 to 2020 . The allocation is disparate by geographical area, absolutely equitable by population distribution and more equitable by economic level. The Thiel Index shows that intra-regional differences in resource allocation are the main cause of inequitable allocation of critical care bed resources in China. Conclusion: There is inequity in the allocation of intensive care beds resources in China. Equity is best allocated by population distribution, second best by economic level and worst by geographical area.
