The health establishments are not directly connected to the servicing of population of a given settlement or even of municipality. A great part of health establishments serve the population of a given region or a group of municipalities, and the specialized health care establishments - oncological, dermato-venereological, psychiatric, pulmonary and other service the population of 2 or 3 regions. The establishments under central administration, regardless of their location, serve the population from the whole country. 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. The number of beds for temporary use is excluded. According to harmonized methodology applied by Eurostat, WHO and OECD till 2014, beds in in-patient health establishments (hospitals and medical centres with beds) are grouped in statistical grouping, as follow:

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

The application of statistical methodology with respect to statistical grouping of types of beds in hospitals is validated by Eurostat for all member states. 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. The population estimate as of 31 December 2022 reflects the changes in population numbers and structure recorded in the Census 2021.
