Method of computation

The density of physicians is defined as the number of all physicians, excluding dentists per 1000 population The density of nursing and midwifery personnel is defined as the number of nursing and midwifery personnel per 1000 population. The density of dentistry personnel is defined as the number of dentists, dental technician/assistants and related occupation personnel per 1000 population. Indicators of public health development are calculated according to the following formula:

D = МP * 1000 / N

where D – density of medical personnel; MP – medical personnel; N - population.
