The most obvious consequence of the efforts to develop a more modem service delivery model is the reduction in the number of facilities and beds that began in 2006. In 2016, the number of hospitals is 9% below the level of 2000. This has given rise to an even greater reduction in bed numbers, from 6.9/1 000 inhabitants in 2006 to 4.8 beds/1 000 in 2016, which is in line with the OECD average, though the number varies significantly across regions.
