The line graph illustrates how many hospital beds were accessible for each thousand people, over the course of 20 years, in countries such as the USA, Germany, India, Japan and Brazil.
Overall, the figure for the USA and Germany saw significant increases, while those for other countries witnessed noticeable declines by the end of the period. Moreover, the former two climbed uninterruptedly, while the latter had both rises and falls.
Turning to the details, in 2000, hospitals in the USA and Germany had only around 6 and 3 beds available for each 1000 patients, respectively. Until 2010, these figures rose steadily, but afterwards, both of them increased sharply to reach around 13 beds in 2020.
Considering other nations, the starting figure for India was the highest, exactly 12 beds, while those for Japan and Brazil each opened the period at 4 beds. Over the next decade, hospital bed availability in India declined remarkably to around 3 beds, whereas in Japan and Brazil, these numbers grew by 3 and 1 beds, in respective order. By 2020, though, clinics in India started to have more beds (8 units per 1000 people), whilst the figures in both of the remaining countries dropped to only 2 beds.
