The 2023 data reveals Greece leading Europe in practicing gynecologists and obstetricians per 100,000 people, followed closely by Bulgaria and Germany. Notable increases in practitioners occurred in countries like Iceland, Romania, and Norway, with Romania showing the most significant growth rate of 3.88%. Conversely, Liechtenstein experienced a drop of over 5%. Other countries with smaller year-on-year variations include Lithuania and France, both showing slight decreases. Over the past five years, countries like Romania and Iceland have retained robust average growth rates in practitioners, while Liechtenstein has experienced a decline.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of healthcare policy changes, medical education expansions, and demographic shifts on practitioner availability. The increasing demand for women's health services in aging populations may further emphasize the need for more gynecologists and obstetricians across Europe.
