Hospital beds, all functions: 13,116 (2024)

13,116 (beds, 2024). FALLBACK SOURCE. Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora does not publish a national hospital bed total: searched tewhatuora.govt.nz, healthnz.govt.nz and health.govt.nz, which publish acute hospital BED DAYS and per-facility audit bed counts but no national bed census. OECD total = somatic 11,263 + psychiatric 1,853. OECD 'hospital beds' counts beds regularly maintained and staffed and immediately available for use, in all hospitals (public and private) - this is a different construct from Japan's 許可病床 (licensed beds) or Korea's 의료법 total, both of which are licensed capacity and therefore inflated relative to this measure.

Supporting location REF_AREA=NZL, HEALTH_FUNCTION='_T: Total', CARE_TYPE='_T: Total', UNIT_MEASURE='BD: Beds', TIME_PERIOD=2024 (2.48 per 1,000 inhabitants; 2023 = 12,961)
