It's in fact 1.5 beds per 1000 capita according to World Bank data.

A bit off topic but Iran is mostly only under American and Israeli sanctions at this point after Trump unilaterally pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. The rest of the world can trade with Iran though many companies are still unwilling due to the American pressure.

Due to how interconnected European and American finance and business is this effectively means that Europe cannot trade to Iran.
The Europeans cannot enforce the JCPOA without either some kind of American cooperation or a major decoupling their financial systems from the US. I believe Macron has made public musing about the latter as an option, but then again Macron says a lot of things that lack pan-european support.

Specifically, the US imposes/threatens to impose secondary sanctions ie anyone who does business with Iran is also supposed to be subject to sanctions by the US, even if they are not US companies/US parent companies. So those companies can't then themselves do business with US companies or in the US.
Iran is a theocratic authoritarian regime under extreme international sanctions. Might have something to do with that. Iran also only has 0.2 hospital beds per 1k people.
