Shortages of health care professionals for a countries main populace are an increasingly common occurrence. In fact there are countries that have as few as 10 doctors for every 100,000 people, and I won’t even begin to expound upon the fact that in some countries the only reason people cannot get health care is because they are low income or uninsured. Decades ago, when China faced the problem of health care not reaching rural areas, their solution was to train the "peasantry" to treat the "peasants." Thus were born the "Barefoot Doctors" of China, way back in the 1960's.
