The number of practicing physicians in gynecology and obstetrics in Italy is forecasted to increase gradually from 2024 to 2028, starting at 12.23 thousand persons in 2024 and reaching 12.27 thousand persons in 2028. This steady annual increase reflects a consistent but small year-on-year growth of approximately 0.08%, compounded over these five years.
By 2028, gynecology and obstetrics physicians are projected to witness a 0.4% cumulative growth since 2024, indicating a minimal yet positive trajectory post-2023, where figures stood at 12.22 thousand persons.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of healthcare policy reforms, aging demographics driving increased demand for healthcare services, and possible shifts in the gender composition of the physician workforce, which may affect these forecasts significantly.
