Questions

How many German-speaking doctors are there in Colombia?
We list 16, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Bogotá, with 13 of the 16.
Is German unusual for doctors in Colombia?
20% of the 79 doctors we hold in Colombia are recorded as working in German. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
