Updated 11/07/2024 An analysis of the number of hospital beds in relation to population reveals that there were, on average, 516 hospital beds per 100 000 inhabitants in 2022 across the whole of the EU. Among the EU countries, Germany recorded not only the highest number of hospital beds (642 000), but also the 2nd highest number relative to population size, with 766 beds per 100 000 population (see Table 1). The only EU country with a higher ratio relative to its population size was Bulgaria, with an average of 823 hospital beds per 100 000 inhabitants.

Updated 11/07/2024 Following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the population of the European Union increased again in 2023, from 447.6 million on 1 January 2023 to 449.2 million on 1 January 2024. The negative natural change (more deaths than births) was outnumbered by the positive net migration (plus statistical adjustment). The observed population growth can be largely attributed to the increased migratory movements post-COVID-19 and to the influx of displaced persons from Ukraine who received temporary protection status in EU countries, as a consequence of the Russian invasion in February 2022. Looking at the bigger picture, the population of the EU grew from 354.5 million in 1960 to 449.2 million on 1 January 2024, an increase of 94.7 million people (Figure 1). The rate of population growth has slowed down gradually in recent decades: for example, the EU population increased, on average, by about 0.8 million persons per year during the period 2005–2023, compared with an average increase of around 3.0 million persons per year during the 1960s.
