MENOS gasto en SANIDAD pero MÁS médicos
... Ha caído en mis manos un informe de la OCDE con datos del 2005 (parece ser el más reciente, ya que acaba de ser publicado) titulado:
Briefing note for OECD Health Data 2007: How Does Spain Compare
que contiene importantes datos que merece la pena que recordemos:
... O sea, que el gasto en sanidad fue del 8,2% del PIB en 2005, por debajo de la media de los países de la OCDE, que fue de un 9%. Y sobre los recursos y lo que a nosotros más de cerca nos importa, número de médicos y de camas, a continuación:
Total health spending accounted for 8.2% of GDP in Spain in 2005, below the average of 9.0% in OECD
countries. Health spending as a share of GDP is highest in the United States (which spent 15.3% of its
GDP on health in 2005), followed by Switzerland (11.6%), France (11.1%) and Germany (10.7%).
Spain also ranks below the OECD average in terms of health spending per capita, with spending of 2255
USD in 2005 (adjusted for purchasing power parity), compared with an OECD average of 2759 USD.

Resources in the health sector (human, physical, technological).
Despite the relatively low level of health expenditure in Spain, there are more physicians per capita than in
most other OECD countries. In 2005, Spain had 3.8 practising physicians per 1 000 population, above the
OECD average of 3.0. On the other hand, there were 7.4 qualified nurses per 1 000 population in Spain, a
lower figure than the average of 8.6 in OECD countries.
The number of acute care hospital beds in Spain was 2.6 per 1 000 population in 2004, lower than the
OECD average of 3.9 beds. As in most OECD countries, the number of hospital beds per capita in Spain
has fallen over time. This reduction has coincided with a reduction of average length of stays in hospitals
and an increase in the number of surgical procedures performed on a same-day (or ambulatory) basis.

... o sea, lo que no paramos de decir. Que hay médicos de sobra. Tenemos más médicos que la mayoría de los países de la OCDE. 3.8 por 1.000 frente a 3 por 1.000 de media. El número de camas y el de enfermeras/os es también menor que la media.
... Exceso de médicos, uhm, no me suena!
