  1. (1) Number of healthcare workers, subsidy per staff, and population are natural log transformed in regression analysis; there are 18 observations of subsidy per staff equaling to 0 and thus transformed to 1 before nature log transformed. (2) GDP per capita represents county economic development. (3) The unit of subsidy per staff and population are 1000 Yuan and 10,000 person, respectively. (4) ρ represents spatial autocorrelation coefficient. (5) Standard errors are shown in parentheses. (6) The variable of year was included in the models as an indicator variable. (7) *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, and ***p < 0.01.
