MOHW lists 23.1 Western-medicine physicians per 10,000 people in 2023.
Doctor density converts the health workforce into a patient-access metric. Taiwan’s 2023 Western-medicine physician density was 2.31 per 1,000 people, below Japan, Korea and the OECD average reported in Health at a Glance 2025. The comparison is source-labelled because Taiwan’s MOHW category is not necessarily identical to OECD practising-doctor definitions.
