Patients Per Doctor Map of the World

http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/185-the-doctorspatients-map-of-the-world/

Countries with the highest ratio of patients to doctors:

Burundi 33,500
Ethiopia 33,500
Liberia 33,500
Mozambique 33,500
Malawi 50,000
Tanzania 50,000


The scariest part of that list is comparing it to countries with the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world:

Tanzania, Malawai and Mozambique are among the countries with the highest AIDS prevalence/populations (# 12, 8, 10 by prevalence; # 5, 12, 7 by population size).
