Germany leads in hospital bed availability with 25.22% share in 2023, reflecting its robust healthcare infrastructure. France and Poland follow with 14.76% and 9.09% respectively. Notably, most countries experienced a decline in bed availability year-on-year, with Finland witnessing the steepest decrease at 6.14%. Bulgaria and Portugal were exceptions, showing marginal increases. Overall, the compound annual growth indicates a shrinking trend in hospital bed capacity among European nations.
