About the indicator

The number of nursing and midwifery personnel per thousand people. WHO data through the World Bank database; coverage here is broader than in the direct WHO series — 245 territories. The indicator belongs to the set of health workforce indicators by which WHO assesses the ability of a system to secure universal coverage with services.

Important: Density says nothing about accessibility: personnel can be concentrated in large cities, and at the same average value provision in the countryside differs severalfold.
