French-speaking doctors, city by city

Where these came from

These come from 70 different sources, led by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association (674), the Ärztekammer für Steiermark, Styria's statutory doctors' chamber (114) and Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (93). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why French turns up in 52 countries rather than only where French is spoken.

1334 of the 1340 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Where we have nothing

We list doctors in 282 further cities with no French speaker recorded, among them Takamatsu (122), Kurashiki (89), Rome (89) and Daegu (87). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in French.

Questions

How many French-speaking doctors does this page list?

1340, in 121 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.

Where are most of them?

Hamburg with 674, Graz with 114 and Tokyo with 35. Together that is 61% of the page.

Does a listing mean the doctor speaks French personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include a French speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.

All 403 cities where we list doctors, whatever the language.
