Description
This dataset reports healthcare-professional availability in Singapore from 2006 to 2022. For each year and profession, it provides the number of professionals per thousand population and a corresponding profession-to-population ratio. It can support workforce-capacity analysis and comparisons across healthcare occupations over time, but the catalog does not define which professional groups are included, whether headcount or registration status is used, or the population denominator, so Ministry of Health methodology should be checked for precise interpretation.
