As Few Pediatricians as Possible and as Many Pediatricians as Necessary?

Abstract

We think that most countries in Europe need more well-trained general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists to achieve the goals of improving child healthcare on different levels. The "total is more than the sum of all single parts." By contrast, the motto "better care by fewer pediatricians" is unrealistic.

Our objective is to alert healthcare officials regarding the necessity to optimize the issue of calculating the needed numbers of pediatricians in different settings and services of each national healthcare system.
