Nurses and midwives (per 1,000 people)

This indicator encompasses a diverse range of healthcare professionals dedicated to maternal and community health, including registered nurses, midwives, and various levels of auxiliary staff. By examining the ratio of these essential personnel to the population, we gain insights into the availability and accessibility of crucial health services. The presence of skilled nurses and midwives directly correlates with improved health outcomes, particularly in maternal and child health sectors. Additionally, this metric reflects the adequacy of healthcare systems in responding to community needs, influencing health policies, workforce planning, and resource allocation. A higher ratio suggests a robust support structure for health services, while lower numbers may signal potential challenges in delivering quality care to populations. Source:
