Yearly data from 1960 to 2022, from the World Bank.
Hungary's physicians (per 1,000 people) was 3.46 in 2022, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 11.84% from 3.09 in 2012 (1.13% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 3.46 | 2022 |
| Five years earlier | 3.33 | 2017 |
| Ten years earlier | 3.09 | 2012 |
| Highest | 3.78 | 2003 |
| Lowest | 1.5 | 1960 |
| Average since 2013 | 3.29 | 2013–2022 |
| First recorded | 1.5 | 1960 |
Over five years it is up 3.91% from 3.33 in 2017 (0.77% a year on average, compounded). Since 1960 it is up 130.4% from 1.5 in 1960 (1.36% a year on average, compounded).
In 2022, Hungary's physicians (per 1,000 people) rose 0.16 on 2021 (from 3.3 to 3.46).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2021), the average change was +0.00903 and a typical year strayed about 0.24 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.42 in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.56 in 2005. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 20% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2022, Hungary had the 26th highest value of the 77 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Physicians include generalist and specialist medical practitioners.
Limitations: The WHO compiles data from household and labor force surveys, censuses, and administrative records. Data comparability is limited by differences in definitions and training of medical personnel varies. In addition, human resources tend to be concentrated in urban areas, so that average densities do not provide a full picture of health personnel available to the entire population.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
