Medical personnel by country

Everything you could possibly need on disatribution of medical personnel — and it's all by country. China may have the highest number of doctors in the world, but the country with proportionally the most hospital beds is Japan, followed, strangely, by Belarus and the other former Soviet Union countries.
These figures are the latest available from the World Health Organisation, which has a searchable database of every possible health indicator in the world and is the most credible source available.
