Current through June 25, 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.
