SATSE understands that this condition “seriously harms the attention and care” that must be provided to more than 47 million people. “Since the early 2000s, successive governments have been reducing the number of beds in operation in public hospitals to three per 1,000 residents, which puts us at the bottom of Europe.” Our country is only ahead in this classification Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, UK and Sweden (Report of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Health at a Glance, 2021).
In the top positions of the ranking we find countries like Germany and Austriawhich has more than seven beds per 1,000 inhabitants, while other nations such as Hungary, Czech Republic, Lithuania or Poland They have more than six. The European average is 4.5 beds per 1,000 residents.
