This is not exactly new but is nonetheless rather clever and interesting - an Inhabitants per Doctor map of the world from Doctors of the World.
According to widely published reports, the poster map hangs on the wall of waiting rooms in doctors' rooms in the Netherlands to let the Dutch know how privileged they are in medical-care terms and how they should therefore help Doctors of the World assist the less privileged.
According to the map, Cuba has the best patient-to-doctor ratio of 170:1.
The Netherlands does relatively well with 320:1.
Tanzania fares least well with 50,000:1.
