Abstract

The article discusses the results of three surveys of critical care resources in Guangdong Province, China. It states that the results reveal a 122% hike in the number of intensive care units during the period of 2005 to 2015. It also discusses the significant geographic variation in critical care resources, mainly due to the difference in gross domestic product (GDP).
