In contrast to physicians, the per capita number of dentists in Hungary
increased by 56% from 2000 to 2008, a phenomenon attributable to the far
better remuneration possibilities in private business. In 2008, Hungary had
0.5 dentists per 1000 population, which was about the same as in the EU12 as
a whole, but far below averages for the EU15 and EU27 (Fig. 4.7).
The per capita number of pharmacists rose 20% between 2000 and 2008.
In 2008, Hungary had 0.6 pharmacists per 1000 population, which was higher
than the EU12, but much lower than EU27 and EU15 (Fig. 4.8).
