Updated · hospital beds (per 1,000 people)
Why these 20
World Bank indicator SH.MED.BEDS.ZS (WHO and OECD data): inpatient beds in public, private, general and specialised hospitals and rehabilitation centres, per 1,000 people. Many beds can mean long hospital stays rather than better care, and the latest year differs a lot by country (shown on each row).
How it is measured
World Bank API, most recent value per country (year shown on each row); regional and income-group aggregates are left out.
