The coupling coordination degree of health resources and regional economy in 31 provinces from 2011-2021 was calculated by using coupling coordination degree model, Thayer decomposition and other methods, and then its spatio-temporal evolution characteristics were evaluated. The results showed that: (1) the coupling coordination degree of health resources and regional economy in China showed an upward trend during the sample period. (2) The regional differences in the coordinated development of health resources and regional economy are significantly greater than those between regions, and the differences within the eastern region are showing an expanding trend. (3) Beijing, Tianjin, and the Jiangsu Zhejiang Shanghai region have been at a high level of coordination for a long time, while the process of health and economic coordination in non coastal provinces in the Southwest, East China, and North China is relatively slow. Therefore, the coordinated development of health economy can be promoted by optimizing the allocation of health resources and integrating into the overall situation of the "the Belt and Road" construction according to local conditions.
