"Hong Kong continues to fall behind global counterparts in its doctor-to-population ratio. As of 2020, Hong Kong’s populationof close to 7.5 million was served by 15,298 fully registered doctors, equating to having approximately 2.0 doctors forevery 1,000 people in Hong Kong. Continuing to fare worse than comparable Asian jurisdictions, such as Singapore(2.5) and other well-developed regions in the world (OECD countries average at 3.5), Hong Kong will need an addition ofapproximately 3,500 to catch up to Singapore and 11,000 doctors to catch up to OECD countries."
