In 2023, the number of practicing physicians in France stood at approximately 218,000. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady growth, with an increase each year by an average of around 0.7%. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period is 0.6%. This suggests a modest, yet consistent rise in the number of physicians, signaling sustained efforts to meet healthcare demands.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of policy changes on healthcare worker immigration, the effect of technological advancements in healthcare reducing the need for physical practitioners, and shifts in medical education and training which could affect the supply of doctors in France.
