25% of doctors in Germany are migrants
In 2024, 121,000 migrant doctors were employed in general and dental medicine in Germany, accounting for nearly 25% of all doctors. Of these, 64,000 (13%) still do not hold German citizenship. A decade ago, this figure was only 7%, meaning it has nearly doubled. 42% of foreign doctors have lived in the country for less than 10 years. Authorities have also recognized 7,000 foreign medical diplomas.
Context
Since the 2000s, Germany has actively attracted foreign specialists to overcome doctor shortages in various regions.
Summary:
Germany's healthcare sector is seeing a rise in immigrant doctors, who are notably responding to the country's demand.
