Where these came from

These English-speaking doctors come from 6 sources, led by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association (3577), the UK Foreign Office's travel advice (13) and Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (5).

3602 of the 3603 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Germany?
We list 3603, in 5 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?
Hamburg, with 3580 of the 3603.
Is English unusual for doctors in Germany?
95% of the 3782 doctors we hold in Germany are recorded as working in English. Most of them come from the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
