How to read this table
Rows are categorized by field of specialization, allowing for a comparison between the total number of physicians and those in specialized fields. Comparing therapeutic and surgical profile indicators reveals the structure of the medical workforce. All values are provided in thousands of people, facilitating the analysis of large population groups and the scale of public clinic operations
What is visible in these numbers
The table is 83% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
