Where the doctors are (and are not!)

Today, Matt and Kristi, friends of ours from college, posted the following image from worldmapper.org. It shows the relative number of doctors across nations of the world.  I thought it was worth sharing:

Territory size shows the proportion of all physicians (doctors) that work in that territory.

To quote Matt and Kristi, "Where are the doctors in Africa??"

If you ever needed some visual proof that people like Dr. Friberg are much needed - and that they need our ongoing support! - this map might just be the proof you were looking for.

Peace,

    Wow - that's an amazing visual aid! The girls and I had a good chat about it. Yay for Dr. Friberg!

    Dear Eagan Family, We were introduced to the Fribergs MANY years ago at our Whitehall, WI church. We have moved a couple of times and completely lost track of them. Please update us: fred82350@comcast.net.
