The forecasted number of practicing neurologists per hundred thousand persons in Italy indicates a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028. Beginning in 2024 with a rate of 10.08, it is projected to reach 9.82 by 2028. When compared year-over-year, a decrease of approximately 0.69% to 0.71% occurs annually. This consistent downturn forms a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -0.66% over five years. In 2023, the actual value was 10.14, setting a contrast to future forecasts.
Key trends to monitor include the impact of potential policy changes in healthcare, the retirement rate of current neurologists, advancements in telemedicine, and the education pipeline's ability to attract new neurologists to the field.
