爱尔兰农村地区,特别是米斯,面临严重的GP短缺, 迫使老龄化人口的医疗保健需求. Irish rural areas, notably Meath, face a severe GP shortage, straining healthcare needs in an aging population.

爱尔兰全科医生院报告说,农村地区严重缺乏全科医生,特别是在米斯,每10万人中只有54名全科医生. The Irish College of General Practitioners reports a severe shortage of general practitioners (GPs) in rural areas, particularly in Meath, where there are only 54 GPs per 100,000 people. 该学院强调,全科医生与人口的比率对于满足保健需求,特别是老年人口的保健需求至关重要。 The college emphasizes that the ratio of GPs to population is crucial for meeting healthcare needs, especially in an aging population. 卫生与卫生服务执行部增加了外国医生的招聘,扩大了培训方案,但学院呼吁增加对农村做法的支持,鼓励新的医生在农村地区工作。 While the Department of Health and Health Service Executive have increased foreign doctor recruitment and expanded training programs, the college calls for more support for rural practices and incentives for new GPs to work in rural areas.
