The need for doctors is usually a supply/demand situation, but even then it can be predicted ahead of time, so the universities can open for more students in advance.

There's never a perfect balance, so certain jobs can also advertised in other countries, creating a sort of job import and export.

"There are no completely healthy people, only underdiagnosed"

I don't disagree, I just don't follow how this is relevant in this context?

Oops, I think I responded to wrong comment. It means there is never oversupply of doctors. I can't find comment that mentioned perfectly healthy nation.

Ah. No problem. Yes you're right. There's never an oversupply of doctors.

However, in a fully state controlled healthcare system, there's still a limit to what patients can request for free. Like, boob jobs or other cosmetical surgery. Unless it's for a health care reason, it's for the patients to pay for that operation, so the demand for those kind of doctors are limited to demand, while demand for doctors treating actual illnesses are limited by supply.
