The world needs more doctors. According to the Telegraph, “In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) projected that by 2030, low- and middle-income countries will have a deficit of 14.5 million healthcare professionals.”

The demand for healthcare professionals is also high in countries like the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for nurses and doctors/physicians is expected to grow between 7-12% by 2028.

The situation in Europe is reasonable compared to other continents like Asia or Africa, but some countries need more doctors than others.

This is reflected in European policies. A lot of EU countries that have forbidden or restricted employment of foreign citizens do not apply this decision to doctors. The need for healthcare professionals is so high that in most cases, Medicine students get a job soon after they graduate.
