Physicians per 1,000

Tier A· Official

Number of medical doctors (generalist and specialist) per 1,000 people — a measure of health-workforce capacity.

100 = most physicians per capita in the dataset, 0 = fewest

Mixed reference years (2000–2023). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built
