The number of primary care doctors per head of population is twice as high in towns as in the countryside.

There are one per 1,000 inhabitants in towns and cities, compared with 0.4 in the countryside. Doctors in rural areas also work more hours, 8% more per week.

At the end of 2021, 9184 primary care doctors were practising in Switzerland, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) reported on Friday. Of these, 4,785 were men (4,059 full-time equivalent, FTE) and 4,399 were women (3,115 FTE).
