Money is important in life because it is the basis for purchasing all types of products and services. Although something that is striking is that the doctors salary It is not the same throughout the world. While in some countries the remuneration is high, there are others where the opposite is true because the pay is minimal.
This situation is quite worrying because in reality the training and preparation is the same anywhere on the planet. There are even some like Mexico where the social service With duration of one year. It is a facet that has already disappeared in other nations but is maintained here and, in part, it is because it represents cheap labor for the healthcare system.
Likewise, the activities that a doctor must perform are usually the same no matter where in the world they are. The process of care for a patient It is the same, although what does change is the number of people who must be attended to in a day.
How much is the salary of doctors in the world?
Now, to find out the differences that persist within the profession, the Medscape portal carried out the global survey Do US Doctors Have It Better? Medscape International Physician Compensation Report 2023. The objective was to compare the annual pay of a doctor in the United States with respect to the rest of the world.
To prepare the report, the results of health professionals from 11 countries. In all cases, only general practitioners were considered, but the most attractive thing was the enormous difference there is with respect to the salary.
United States – $352,000 annually Canada – $273,000 annually Germany – $160,000 annually United Kingdom – $122,000 annually France – $93,000 annually Italy – $64,000 annually Spain – $60,000 annually Brazil – $48,000 annually Portugal – $44,000 annually Argentina – $21,000 dollars annually Mexico – 19,000 dollars annually
Based on the above, the United States is the country that pays its doctors the best. While at the opposite point Mexico appears as the nation with the worst pay.
To exemplify with numbers, in the case of the American Union the doctors salary It is 352,000 dollars annually. On the other hand, in Mexico the figure is just 19,000 dollars, which represents 323,000 pesos at the current exchange rate. Among colleagues the difference is little more than five times.
Mexico is the country with the lowest salary for doctors in Latin America
Something that is striking is that even in other Latin American countries incomes are higher than in Mexico. In Brazil the annual salary of doctors is $48,000, while in Argentina it is $21,000.
As a result of the above, 52 percent of doctors in the United States stated that they feel well paid. While in Mexico the statistic is only 29 percent. With this, naturally the majority of health personnel in our country are not happy with the payment they receive for doing their work.
Likewise, although the research does not mention it, the conditions within hospitals and clinics are not the same. In technologically advanced countries, adequate tools are provided to health workers to carry out their tasks. While in Latin America deficiencies are common in all areas.
