Current through December 10, 2024
Essential health service delivery requires an adequate supply and appropriate distribution of fully qualified physicians, nurses, and other health care personnel. High quality health care services depend on the availability of competent health care personnel in sufficient numbers to meet the population's needs. Although the state has improved its population-to-physician ratio in recent years, not all physicians are available to the general population. Only 41% of physicians are primary care providers the remaining are specialist or other and tend to treat patients only by referral. Some physicians occupy administrative or teaching positions and treat patients only part-time, if at all.
