Aim . To analyze trends in the number and structure of physicians in the healthcare system of the Republic of Tajikistan during the period of healthcare reform. Materials and methods . The sources of information were the official data of the Republican Center for Statistics and Medical Information, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Tajikistan (MoHSP), departments of science, medical and pharmaceutical education, and the personnel department of the MoHSP, and other regulatory legal documents. Results and discussion . In 2019 there were 19,268 doctors active in the health sector, which is 20.7 doctors per 10,000 population. In 2019, there were only 76 private health facilities (WHO, 2020). Conclusions . The even geographic distribution of health workers appears to be one of the challenges in improving access to healthcare in Tajikistan.
