    • 29%

    Correct Answer
    A. 47%
    Explanation
    47% of the world's countries have less than one doctor for every 1000 people. This means that almost half of the countries in the world have a shortage of doctors relative to their population.

It highlights the global disparity in healthcare and the need for improved healthcare infrastructure and resources in many countries.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.2:1000

    The global median ratio of doctors to people is 1.2:1000, which means that for every 1000 people, there are 1.2 doctors available.
