The bar chart illustrates the number of hospital beds available for patients in 8 different countries while the table compares government spending and life expectancy in three of those countries, Japan, the Netherlands and the USA.
Overall we can see that although Japan spends the least on health care, it has the highest life expectancy and the most beds available for its people.
A closer look at the graph shows that most of the countries mentioned only have around 4 beds available per thousand people. There are two exceptions to this, Germany, who have twice that number, and Japan, whose number is significantly higher, at 14 beds for every thousand people.
From the table we can see that the USA, which has the highest healthcare expenditure of the three countries mentioned ($6, 719 per person), has a life expectancy of only 78. As mentioned previously, Japan spends the least on health care, only $2, 581 per person. Despite this Japan’s people can expect to live to be 83 years of age, 3 years longer than people in the Netherlands, whose government spend $900 more on them
