There is a shortage of health professionals mainly in some parts of the countryside of Brazil. Areas with poor living conditions and restricted supply of goods, limited infrastructure or access to education tend to be less attractive to health professionals (including doctors) to live and work. This leads to a lack of health professionals willing to deliver healthcare to this population. In addition, on average, the number of trained health professionals is below the necessary to meet population’s demand. Brazil suffers with lower numbers and bad distribution of trained health professionals.
