Taiwan had 7.33 beds per 1,000; Korea and Japan were above 12.
Hospital-bed density is a simple measure of system capacity, though it does not measure quality or efficiency. Taiwan’s 2023 health-facility bed density was 7.33 per 1,000 people, above the OECD average but below Korea and Japan. The comparison highlights Taiwan’s relatively high physical bed capacity while preserving the definition caveat.
