Measurement definition and metadata source
Publisher measure: Nursing and midwifery personnel (number)
Number of nursing and midwifery personnel; not a density. WHO GHO series HWF_0007. These are workforce counts, not counts per 10,000 people. Country definitions, sector coverage, reporting years and completeness can differ; consult WHO's National Health Workforce Accounts documentation when comparing countries.
Publisher metadata, retrieved . That is when the definition was last checked, not when these figures were published.
Source correction: The nursing and midwifery count previously imported a density per 10,000 people (HWF_0006). Its readings are replaced from the personnel count series HWF_0007. Correction record.
