How much of each department’s beds sits in a single municipalityHow to read this
- Registered capacity: beds and stretchers reported by each site in the installed-capacity registry. A registered bed is not always available or in use.
- Not adjusted for population: this example does not divide by residents. A small municipality with few beds may be well served, and a large one may not.
- Illustrative lines: they join each municipality to the one with the most beds in its department. They are not referrals or real patient flows; those can be built from SISPRO care data.
- Municipalities not shown: those with no providers or capacity in these registries do not appear.
