Data on beds in health establishments refer to the all de facto operating beds as well as beds temporary out of use for a period of less than six months.

Rehabilitative care beds – all rehabilitative care beds in all health establishment are included.

Indicators Hospital beds per 100 000 of the population are calculated based on the number of the population as of 31.12. of the relevant year. The number and structure of the population at the end of each year are calculated on the basis of the previous year's data and the data on natural movements and migration of the population in the current year.
