The density of nurses and midwives in China has shown a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 4.06 to 4.79 persons per thousand. This represents a consistent growth as the country addresses healthcare needs. Considering the previous five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrates a positive trajectory, indicating commitments to enhancing healthcare staffing levels, as aligned with policy goals. The year-on-year variations emphasize a gradual increase in density, reflecting improved resource allocation in the healthcare sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
