Method & notes
Private hospitals are a major second layer of capacity, while university, army and specialised institutions add smaller but important pools.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita reproduces official bed counts published in MOH Health Facts 2025. The categories reflect different administrative systems and are shown separately rather than merged into one public/private total.
- MOH hospitals exclude MOH special medical institutions in this comparison.
- Licensed private hospital beds refer to licensed private hospitals, not every private care facility.
- University and army hospitals are non-MOH public-sector facilities.
