Overview
Brunei Darussalam's physicians stood at 1.89 in 2021, a rise of +0.12 from 2018. Brunei Darussalam ranked 73rd globally.
Brunei Darussalam's physician-to-population ratio has exhibited a gradual increase over the years, with a significant jump from 0.30 physicians per 1,000 people in 1970 to 1.89 in 2021. This represents a growth rate of 527%, surpassing that of peer countries such as Turkmenistan, which had 1.92 physicians per 1,000 people in 2021. Brunei Darussalam's ratio has consistently ranked around the 70th globally, with a steady progression up the ranks over the past 23 years. The country's development and investment in the healthcare sector have likely contributed to this upward trend. However, factors such as changes in government policies, healthcare infrastructure, or population demographics could impact the trajectory of this trend, and a decline in foreign investment or a significant shift in government priorities could potentially reverse the growth in physician-to-population ratio.
