The EU countries with the most (and least) GPs

It's not uncommon in some countries to see a queue extending down the street when a new medical practice opens its doors to the public for the first time. Likewise, many know the frustration and bafflement that arises when calling for an appointment with their doctor at the start of the day, only to be told there are already none left. As data from Eurostat shows though, the chances of encountering these problems are likely to vary greatly from country to country. When it comes to general practitioners (GPs) per 100,000 population, Portugal is way out in front in the EU with 244. Greece is rock bottom with a mere 34.
