This map shows three layers of anesthesia workforce data.

  • Number of Physician Anesthesia Providers (PAPs) per 100,000 population
  • Number of Non-Physician Anesthesia Providers (NPAPs) per 100,000 population
  • Number of Physician Anesthesia Providers (PAPs) per 100,000 population in 2016 (per the previous WFSA Workforce Survey)

In 2016, the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists performed the first survey of the global anesthesia workforce. Data is derived from the Global Anesthesia Workforce Survey published in 2024.
