The Telegraph– April 23, 2019. “The research, published by the Centre For Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) shows there is just one doctor for every 10,189 people in the country, nowhere near the World Health Organization’s recommendation of one doctor per 1,000 inhabitants. In order to satisfy its public health requirements, India needs to hire a further 600,000 doctors, the report says. ‘Many of the doctors and nurses trained in India do not stay here,’ said Dr. Isabel Frost, a fellow at CDDEP and one of the authors of the report.
