Caveats and Limitations

红领巾瓜报uses the unit of analysis "per 100,000 population," which is different from the WHO's "density per 1,000 population." Caution should be used when comparing results across countries.

Statistics reported may differ from those reported by other organizations due to differences in data collection and reporting methodologies.

Issues of under- and/or over-coverage may vary by type of professional.

Data is not necessarily available for each province and territory for each type of professional.

Trending Issues

Population estimates may change over time.

Vary by type of professional

Comments

Please note that the available data years, geographic coverage, reporting level/disaggregation and update frequency vary by type of professional.

鈥淎vailable data year鈥 can refer to data year (for nurses) or to reporting year (for occupational therapists, physiotherapists and pharmacists).
