NB: Ratio based on Population Census 2011 (State-610577/North-43709/East-283583/South-146850/West-136435).
The average population served by the Government Allopathic Doctors is lowest in east district may be because state referral hospital is situated in the east districts. Number is largest in the west followed by south then north districts. The good figure in the north district may not be because of number of Doctors in the district. It may be because population of north district is smallest. Trend is similar regarding Dental Doctors and ANM. In comparision to national figure state is far better of in respect of allopathy and Dental doctor serving average population. One significant observation noticed in the table is that average number of population served by Nurse is far larger than that of doctors. This indicates severe shortages of Nurses in the State.
