Japan has fewer physicians per capita than most other OECD countries. In 2006, Japan had 2.1 practising

physicians per 1 000 population, well below the OECD average of 3.1. The relatively low number of

doctors per capita in Japan is due at least partly to government policies fixing limits on the number of new

entrants in medical schools.

Japan had 9.3 nurses per 1 000 population in 2006, a figure slightly below the OECD average of 9.7.
