Doctors (overall number)

The number of doctors per capita varies widely across OECD countries. In 2013, Greece had the highest number (with 6.3 doctors per 1 000 population), followed by Austria. Turkey and Chile had the lowest number among OECD countries, with slightly less than two doctors per 1 000 population. The OECD average was just over three doctors per 1 000 population. The number of doctors per capita is much lower in some partner countries. There was less than one doctor per 1 000 population in Indonesia, India and South Africa. In China, the number of doctors per capita is still about half the OECD average, but it has grown significantly since 2000 ().
