Canada: 12.9 / 100K population (slightly higher than OECD average)
For the record, it is usually better to quote "OECD" than "G20". G20 just means total GDP is large, but GDP per capita can be very low, like India, Indonesia, and China. OECD is always (democratic and) high-income -- high GDP per capita. For example: Nederlands, Norway, and Switzerland are all OECD, but none G20. All are very high income and high human development.
This number includes level 2/step-down ICUs inclusive of regional/community hospital.
This is not the bed count of units capable of having cardiac support or prolonged ventilation.
I can’t readily find the OECD figure but if you look at ventilator capable beds in Canada the number drops to ~9.7, again inclusive of community/regional hospitals mostly staffed by non-ICU trained physicians which are only equipped for short term ventilation.
Which center in Canada have you trained at where there isn’t constant pressure to offload ICU patients to the ward due to a lack of beds?
Not even close.
