The World Health Organisation's standard figure is 100 GPs were 100,000 people.
No county in the midlands has enough GPs to cover the population.
That's according to new research from The Irish College of GPs based on World Health Organisation recommendations.
At least 100 GPs per 100,000 people are required to meet the standard.
Rural communities are struggling the most to meet this demand.
GPs are calling for more supports, as the number of people, particularly those aged over 65, grows nationally.
Longford GP, Doctor Padraig McGarry says the workload is only increasing for his profession:
