Hospital beds per 1,000 people, 2023 or nearest year, top 8 OECD members.
Hospital-bed density is ranked across OECD members using beds per 1,000 people in 2023 or the nearest year. The leaderboard uses eight rows from one OECD Health at a Glance figure, with partner and accession rows excluded from the member ranking. Korea led at 12.6 beds per 1,000 people, just ahead of Japan at 12.5. The indicator excludes residential long-term care beds and can vary with national hospital definitions.
