What This Nursing Figure Means

This game compares nurses and midwives per 1,000 people.

  • This is a core health-workforce figure, not a prestige metric for doctors alone.
  • Nurses and midwives do a huge share of the care work that makes a health system function.
  • A low value often points to training gaps, migration pressure, or weak public capacity.

If physician density is the glamorous number, nursing density is often the more revealing one.
