Abstract: Abstract In recent years, sudden public health emergencies have continued to impact urban healthcare systems. This paper constructs a theoretical model based on panel data from Shenzhen from 2017 to 2023 to analyse the impact mechanisms of epidemic shocks, ageing, and healthcare policy interventions on the efficiency of healthcare resource allocation. The study finds that epidemics increase healthcare costs through demand-side shocks and supply-side constraints, and the interaction between healthcare investment and the ageing rate significantly affects resource allocation efficiency. This paper combines health economics with crisis management theory to provide a new perspective on optimising healthcare resource allocation in the context of sudden public health emergencies.
