Doctors and hospital beds
Physicians and hospital beds per 1,000 people.
Physicians per 1,000 people counts generalist and specialist doctors who practise in the country. Hospital beds per 1,000 people counts beds in public and private hospitals, including psychiatric and rehabilitation beds. Both measure the capacity of a health system, not its quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) collects them from national registers and surveys, and the World Bank republishes them. Countries report in different years, so the series have gaps.
