Poland had 1.22 units while Portugal and Chile had considerably lower densities at 0.48 and 0.46 units respectively. Year 2023 saw that density decreased marginally by 1.14% in France, 0.44% in Greece, and 1.26% in Chile.

Over the last five years, the compounded annual growth rate indicates a variable growth outlook among these nations.
Looking ahead, countries with existing lower density levels, like Portugal and Chile, could see more rapid expansion driven by investments in healthcare infrastructure. Meanwhile, Italy's impressive growth trajectory may continue, potentially benefiting from increased healthcare privatization. Monitoring economic conditions and policy changes impacting the health sector can provide insights into future trends in hospital bed density.
