should really have got Cuba, which prides itself on having a health system which is infinitely better than it's wealthier neighbour. Also surprised US has more than the UK.

I wonder how liberally this source applies the word "physician" to some of these countries...no offense Turkmenistan.

@jb90, doctors were one thing the Soviets could produce en masse, so it's no wonder the former USSR shows up so many times here. @RosaG, i think you need to take 2-3 minutes off, because you can just start naming countries and get most of em easily. Good stuff, though!

When half of all the doctors in Cuba left the country in 1959, Castro decided he wanted to produce a lot of doctors. And with generous subsidies from the Soviet Union he was able to do so. Dictators often get what they want, up to a point. So Cuba was indeed my first guess on this quiz, followed by countries of the former Soviet Union.
