but not compared to other developed countries (except England):

          [1] [2]
  Germany 3.7 24.6
  France  3.3 9.3
  England 2.7 3.3
  USA     2.4 20
  Canada  2.4 13.5
  Japan   2.2 4 to 5

1. Ratio of physicians to patients (per 1,000 population)

2. Number of ICU beds (per 100,000 population)

Where did you get these numbers? I’m fairly certain I’ve seen Japan being ridiculously high in these numbers before.

Edit: Never mind, that was total number of hospital beds. The number of ICU units is really small.

Do you have a source for those numbers? They differ significantly from https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=30183, but perhaps your source is more reliable.

Edit: nevermind, I misunderstood the definition of "Curative care (acute care) beds in hospitals".

Now that you understood it, can you explain what the difference is? It's not obvious to me either.
