How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the number of hospital beds per 1,000 people. It refers to beds maintained, staffed and readily available for inpatient care in hospitals. Higher is better.

The main source is the World Bank indicator SH.MED.BEDS.ZS. It measures hospital beds per 1,000 people and uses WHO data supplemented by national country data. Nomadino uses the latest available non-empty country value from 2015 onward.

The definition follows the international capacity logic for hospitals: total beds include curative or acute care beds, rehabilitative care beds, long-term care beds and other hospital beds where they are actually maintained and usable.

Where the World Bank does not provide a separate current value for a country or territory, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. These are derived from WHO tables, OECD definitions, national health statistics, administering state, local care and plausible comparator countries.

The score is calculated from the raw value with diminishing returns. Additional beds improve the score most strongly where a country starts very low; above roughly eight beds per 1,000 people, the score rises more slowly. This keeps the real raw value visible while preventing outliers from dominating the ranking.

This indicator measures only inpatient bed density. It does not automatically rate care quality, intensive-care beds, occupancy, waiting times, staffing, regional distribution or affordability. These aspects remain separate indicators or plausibility checks.
