With the rapid development of the socio-economic landscape, the investment of various levels of government in healthcare services has been continuously increasing. To achieve the optimal allocation of healthcare resources, promote balanced development of healthcare services, and enhance the quality of healthcare services, it is crucial to explore the influencing factors of healthcare service development. In this study, we conducted an in-depth investigation into the impact mechanisms and spatial-temporal evolution of healthcare service development in different economic regions of Guangdong Province. By utilizing actual data and principal component analysis, we conclusively demonstrated that the level of healthcare service development in various economic regions of Guangdong is closely related to core factors such as population density, economic level, and medical facilities. Notably, in the economically developed Pearl River Delta region, we found that the level of healthcare service development is significantly higher than in other regions. This provides an important reference for guiding the allocation of healthcare resources across the province and promoting the balanced development of healthcare services overall.
