- W2625571104 abstract "The world-wide shortage of doctors is one of the most disturbing developments in recent years. The shortage is most acute in developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia. In Africa the medical density is 1.36 physicians per 10000 population in 1970. In 1970 Asia had an average of 2.8 physicians for every 10000 people. This is twice the medical density in Africa but not even 1/5 that of Europe which has 14.85 doctors per 10000 population. During the past 20 years Asia s medical density has been increasing but the increase is becoming less and less rapid. In the 50s medical density increased by 17.1% and only by 8.8% in the 60s. This has been due to Asias rapid population growth and a slackening in the growth rate in the number of physicians. Because of the baby boom Asia will have to exert a sustained effort if its medical density is not to diminish or is to increase. The number of doctors will have to increase at the same rate as the population. Assuming a medium rate of population growth Asia which had 342100 physicians in 1970 will need 736400 or more than twice as many in the year 2000. The Asian brain drain is also causing a shortage of doctors. An unusually high migration of Asian doctors to the United States has taken place mainly from India Pakistan Thailand Taiwan th e Philippines and Korea. Because of the shortage of doctors there is an urgent need to devise alternative methods of bringing health care to the peoples of developing countries. It is proposed that health services be built up in which some members of health teams other than doctors are given a key role." @default.
