From 2000 to 2017，the national total expenditure for public health increased from 49.426 billion yuan to 1445.063 billion yuan，with an average annual growth of 21.96%. The highest values of the composite index of longitudinal evaluation in each Five-Year Plan period mostly appeard in 2017；however it didn’t continuously improve but showing ups and downs. In the lateral evaluation，the gap of the ideal value has always been very obvious and the comprehensive index declined slightly from time to time. By in-depth testing the health investment related to its economic and financial background，the similarities to the expenditure for education，science & technology and culture，and the regional balance of all kinds of per capita value calculation，we can reveal the headway and the gaps：（1）The health investment growth was remarkably higher than GDP growth；it was evidently higher than the fiscal revenue growth，and evidently higher than the fiscal expenditure growth；it was evidently higher than the education investment growth，but certainly lower than the science & technology investment growth，and that remarkably higher than the culture investment growth.（2）Besides the culture investment，the regional disparity of all the other kinds of data has narrowed，the regional disparity of the health investment was reduced by 24.70%. It is gradually becoming a reality，not just a pursuit that the whole country has achieved economic and financial “balanced growth” and “equal growth” in the expenditure for education，science & technology and health.
