It is noted that they differ in the redundancy of specialist doctors with a relative shortage of general practitioners. The medical personnel of these countries are characterized by aging, a tendency to migrate to other countries, a shortage of secondary medical personnel, an excess of the required number of dentists, which is especially pronounced in Bulgaria. In addition, the availability of medical care and the limits on the number of patients for a certain time period with one doctor, established in Greece, reduce. The salary level of doctors in these countries varies from the minimum (Greece, Bulgaria) to the maximum in Spain. At the same time, the training of medical personnel is carried out according to the Bologna system (bachelors degree, masters degree, etc.) and is characterized by a long period (4—5 years) of preparing a doctor for independent work.public health, healthcare abroad, human resourcesобщественное здравоохранениездравоохранение за рубежомкадровый потенциал1.Souliotis K., Golna C., Tountas Y. et al.
