Employing grounded theory, an array of policies, literature, and governmental reports was analyzed in this study to construct a model of resource allocation dilemmas under collaborative governance. The model integrates several dimensions, including governance structures, industry configurations, societal roles, and resource types such as governmental, financial, and human. Key strategies for promoting health integration are identified: setting clear developmental directions, establishing robust synergistic mechanisms, reforming health concepts, and enhancing inter-regional cooperation. Furthermore, reforms are proposed for policy enforcement, resource distribution, and professional training to support sustainable health practices. The findings offer valuable theoretical insights for policymakers aiming to foster green development in China’s health sector.
