Dear Keti,

Many thanks!

I'll do as many as I can before Friday and will finish the rest over the 
weekend or early next week.

Please find attached 5 dev plans for surgical specialities 
(anesthesiology, emergency, general surgery, ob/gyn, orthopedics) and 3 
for internal medicine (cardiology, generic internal, oncology). All 
these are hospital based services.

Have a look at these if you have time e.g. whether these seem to be useful.

Tomorrow I'm going to look for literature on load and staffing criteria 
as well as hospital/bed numbers per population. With the goal to create 
a summary suggestion for various levels of hospitals/specialised care

All the best, taavi
