its fairly low yeah, as its really a multi faced problem caused by a lot of factors. given how serious a medical negligent situation can be, practice is highly scrutinized. you also have the other problem countries have where its not necessarily not having enough doctors in a specific field, but ones willing to work in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. getting specialist doctors in rural areas is difficult, and they end up having to do way more worl than what they are qualified for because of it.
