This third edition provides the latest comparable data and trends across regions in OECD countries, including a special focus on the spatial dimension for innovation. It relies on the OECD Regional database, the most comprehensive set of statistics at the sub-national level on demography, economic and labour market performance, education, healthcare, environmental outputs and knowledge-based activities comparable among the OECD countries. This publication provides a dynamic link (StatLink) for each graph and map, which directs the user to a web page where the corresponding data are available in Excel®.

Health resources: Number of physicians
The delivery of safe, high-quality medical services requires among other things an adequate number of physicians. OECD countries display very different levels in the number of physicians. In 2005, the density of physicians in Turkey (1.5 per 1 000 inhabitants) was half the OECD average, while Greece had 5 practising physicians per 1 000 inhabitants (Figure 26.1).
