Where do doctors work?

Have you ever wondered about the world distribution of physicians? If not, this map may give you something to think about. It shows the proportion of all physicians worldwide that work in each country. Where are the doctors in Africa?!


And in case you wonder about nurses and where they work, here is the map showing the proportion of nurses worldwide who work in each country.


I don't want to hear any complaining that the USA has a physician shortage.

Maps are from worldmapper.org.
