Hospitals (No.) by NUTS-2024 geography and Modality

The number of hospitals in each area, split into general and specialised hospitals as well as a total, reported for Portugal, its regions and its municipalities, annually from 2022. It is a plain count of facilities, not a per-inhabitant density, so it should be read alongside the doctors and pharmacies rates rather than instead of them. The most recent year's figures are provisional as published. Source: Statistics Portugal, CC BY 4.0.
