| Abstrakt: | As the main vehicle for the tertiary distribution, charity has a certain regulating effect on regional medical level. However, the improvement of regional medical effect of charity has yet to be tested. Based on provincial panel data from 1997 to 2019, this study analyzes the impact of charitable donations on regional medical level. The empirical results show that charitable donations widen the gap of overall regional medical level in China, which not only results from the current period but also from charity accumulation in the past. The regional heterogeneity analysis show that charitable donations have expanded the regional medical level of the eastern and western regions, while have no significant effect on the regional medical level gap in the central region. The widening effect in the eastern region of charitable donations is the largest. In addition, charitable donations expand the regional medical level gap between urban and rural areas in China. Charity, as the regional medical development mechanism, has not yet played its due role and advantages in regulating regional medical level gap. Formulating and adjusting the corresponding charity promotion policies is necessary.
