During last ten years, the number of doctors per capita increased in all European countries except Poland and Estonia. The aim of the study is to analyse the availability of medical staff in Poland and selected EU countries in the years 2003-2011. Particular attention is paid to the number of health personnel operating in each analysed EU country, such as: professionally active physicians, practising nurses and midwives. The analyses for physicians are conducted according to various criteria, such as: gender, age, medical speciality.
