Dataene tyder pa, at der hverken er en klar forbindelse mellem antallet af læger eller antallet af hospitalssenge og det økonomiske udviklingsniveau, ej heller en systematisk forbindelse mellem indikatorerne indbyrdes; et højt antal hospitalssenge per capita kan findes, hvor der er et lille antal læger,
It would appear from the data that there is neither a clear-cut link between the number of doctors or the number of hospital beds and the level of economic development nor is there a systematic relationship between the indicators themselves; a high number of hospital beds per head is found with a low doctor per head ratio and vice versa.
