Projected total and target ratios of medical specialties in South Africa 2025

In 2025, the total ratios of medical specialties per 100,000 population in South Africa are expected to make minor improvements in some areas of expertise compared to those ratios recorded in 2019. However, the actual ratios are presumed to be lower than the recommended target ratios in all specialties, with anesthesiology having the biggest capacity shortage at 2.48, with the recommended target being 5.23. On the other hand, nuclear physicians are expected to make the most notable improvements and only fall short of the recommended target by 0.02.
