Definition
Physicians per 10,000 population: generalists, specialist medical practitioners and medical doctors not further defined (ISCO-08 codes 221, 2211 and 2212), as reported to WHO's National Health Workforce Accounts, divided by the national population. Depending on the country's source, the count covers practising physicians only or all registered physicians.
Countries count practising or registered physicians and do not report every year, so compare countries with care. WHO revises these series, past years included, when new national reports or estimates come in, so values can change between retrievals.
