Abstract
The article aims to introduce the current situation of the number and age structure of primary care physicians, including an outline of their movement within the system (i.e. incoming and outgoing physicians). There will also be presented the future development provided by the numbers and the structure under the status quo for other thirty years (i.e. the number of entering ones and exiting intensity from the system would remain unchanged).
Above all, the uneven age structure in all branches of activity will be highlighted, which - in combination with low numbers of graduates who specialize in the fields of primary medicine - will most likely lead to a significant decrease of number of primary health physicians already in a few years
