Public hospital beds per lakh people, March 2023
Among states, Himachal Pradesh has 136 public hospital beds per lakh people, Kerala 119 and Tamil Nadu 106, against 22 in Bihar, 29 in Jharkhand and 32 in Uttar Pradesh. Lakshadweep (357), the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (340) and Chandigarh (309) are highest of all. Maharashtra is left off.
Policy implication
Maharashtra is grey because the source's medical-college column adds to 16,998 beds more than its printed total, exactly Maharashtra's entry, and the source does not say which is wrong. The count is public beds only, so it says nothing about private hospitals. Beds are for March 2023 and populations are 2024 projections.
