      Manhattan had 21 primary care doctors per 10,000 people, whereas Brooklyn had 5.7, Queens had 5.4, the Bronx had 9 and Staten Island had 5.6, according to data from Financial District-based Primary Care Development Corporation. Subpar access to medical care in some parts of the city improved when officials rolled out citywide initiatives around Covid-19 testing and vaccination. [Extracted from the article]
