Number of health care employees

This graph shows an increase of the number of doctors in Slovak health care. This is partially a result of older doctors' decisions not to enter retirement. The decrease is visible mainly in the occupation of nurses. Number of dentists is stable at around 2700.
Continuous decrease of nurses since 2008 will worsen health care of ageing population. Smaller increase of doctors will not make situation in health care sector in Slovakia better.
