In 2023, Italy led Europe in the number of practicing general pediatricians, followed closely by Germany and Spain. The United Kingdom showed moderate density, while France lagged behind the leading group. Notably, Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway displayed lower figures. Eastern and smaller nations such as Romania, Portugal, and Montenegro had the lowest densities, with Iceland and Liechtenstein at the bottom.
Year-on-year changes indicated growth for countries like Germany, Spain, and Norway, while Italy experienced a slight decline. Significant growth in Malta and Austria suggests potential upward trends. Countries like Lithuania and Bulgaria saw declines, indicating potential area shortages.
For future trends, expect continued growth in Germany and Spain due to positive historical trends. Meanwhile, regions facing declines might need to strategize for increasing child healthcare demands and workforce sustainability. Observing these workforce dynamics is crucial as they shape the pediatric landscape across Europe.
