Description:

This chapter aims to determine the current demand for medical practitioners and nurses in South Africa by looking at the number of positions that are filled and the number that are currently vacant. It attempts to determine the number of medical practitioners and nursing positions that will be required until 2011, establishes the expected output from higher education over the next ten years, and determines the gap between supply and demand of health professionals.
