About This Dataset

Countries with the Most Hospital Beds 2023

Countries ranked by hospital beds (per 1,000 people) in 2023, using World Bank figures for the 73 countries that reported that year. Belarus leads on 9.77, ahead of Mongolia (8.58) and Bulgaria (8.20). Hospital beds per 1,000 people, counting public and private inpatient beds. A high count reflects a hospital-centred system rather than better care, and several leading figures are a decade old.

Analysis

Belarus (9.77), Mongolia (8.58) and Bulgaria (8.20) take the top three. Across the twenty shown, values run from 9.77 down to 4.04, a spread of 5.73. Belarus is 1.14 times Mongolia, the country in second place. 14 of the 20 reach half the leading figure, 4.89 or more.
