Health at a Glance: Europe 2010
Each indicator in the book is presented in a user-friendly format, consisting of charts illustrating variations across countries and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings conveyed by the data, and a methodological box on the definition of the indicators and any limitations in data comparability. An annex provides additional information on the demographic and economic context within which health systems operate.
This publication is the result of collaboration between the OECD and the European Commission, with the help of national data correspondents from the 31 countries.

Hospital Beds
The number of hospital beds provides an indication of the resources available for delivering services to in-patients in hospitals. This section presents data on the total number of hospital beds, including those allocated for curative, psychiatric, long-term and other types of care. It does not capture the capacity of hospitals to furnish same-day emergency or elective interventions.
