List of OECD countries by hospital beds

And there is also the fact that larger cities, like Moscow and SPB, have a deficit of beds, while smaller towns have a surplus. Most hospitals were planned and built in the USSR, and a large part of the the population has moved into cities since then, leaving the whole system unbalanced.
although the state of the UK seems to suggest that this is a necessary rather than sufficient condition.
As others have pointed out, I suspect the way beds are counted is key.
ICUs often have step down units and high dependency units and so on. The way these are counted is going to matter.
Japan has not had a surplus since the early 90's and it seems unlikely it will generate one this decade [1], challenging traditional economic wisdom on the consequences of financing your country by printing money (the Japanese central bank is key buyer of government issued bonds).
As a result, Japan has the highest government debt level in the developed word, well over 200% of GDP [2].
