Hospital beds include inpatient beds available in public, private, general, and specialized hospitals and rehabilitation centers. In most cases beds for both acute and chronic care are included.
Source
WHO data, supplemented by country data, World Health Organization (WHO)
Topic
Health: Health systems
Unit of measure
Per 1000 people
Periodicity
Annual
Aggregation method
Weighted average
Statistical concept and methodology
Methodology: Data were compiled from the WHO Regional offices and country sources other (e.g. ministry of health, national statistical office) and modified to standardize the unit of measure of per 10 000 population by WHO.
Statistical concept(s): Health systems - the combined arrangements of institutions and actions whose primary purpose is to promote, restore, or maintain health (World Health Organization, World Health Report 2000) - are increasingly being recognized as key to combating disease and improving the health status of populations. The World Bank's Healthy Development: Strategy for Health, Nutrition, and Population Results emphasizes the need to strengthen health systems, which are weak in many countries, in order to increase the effectiveness of programs aimed at reducing specific diseases and further reduce morbidity and mortality. To evaluate health systems, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that key components - such as financing, service delivery, workforce, governance, and information - be monitored using several key indicators. The data are a subset of the key indicators. Monitoring health systems allows the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of different health system models to be compared. Health system data also help identify weaknesses and strengths and areas that need investment, such as additional health facilities, better health information systems, or better trained human resources.
Availability and use of health services, such as hospital beds per 1,000 people, reflect both demand- and supply-side factors. In the absence of a consistent definition this is a crude indicator of the extent of physical, financial, and other barriers to health care.
Development relevance
Hospital beds are used to indicate the availability of inpatient services.
Limitations and exceptions
Depending on the source and means of monitoring, data may not be exactly comparable across countries. For more information, see the original source.
