      Among EU regions at level 3 of the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS 3), there were 124 regions where 100% of the population lived within that 15-minute range (darkest shade of blue on the map), and 96 of those were located in Germany.

      The other regions in this group were in Belgium (6), the Netherlands (6, including the capital of Groot-Amsterdam), Greece (4, all of which are part of the capital), France (4, including Paris and 3 surrounding regions), Malta (both regions), and Spain, Italy and Poland (each 2 regions).

      At the other end of the range, there were 97 NUTS level 3 regions where less than 50% of the population lived within a 15-minute drive of a hospital in 2023 (yellow on the map).

      Among these regions, 21 were located in Romania, 15 in Greece, 9 each in Croatia and Spain, 8 in Poland, and another 6 each in Ireland, Portugal and Slovenia.

      Definitely NOT in northern Sweden though … there it is more like 2-3 hours.

      And we don’t need to use Uber for that drive.

      In my case, it’s 15 min on a bicycle.

      Interesting that Bulgaria is doing so much better than Romania, what’s going on there? More Urbanisation?

      I can confirm, I live in the EU, yesterday I drove to a hospital and it took about 15 minutes

      That’s an incredible stat. This must mean that there is at least two or more hospitals within any given area in most cases.

      Is a great percentage, a good number overall.

      Sure there are some particular special and some poblems with this, but 83% in 15minutes is amazing. On the 1hr range should be really close to complete coverage

      Great to read this (in general), a very important metric for development

      I live in North Italy, i have like 3 hospital in the 15-20 min distance.

      Everything is within a 15 minute drive if you go fast enough

      TIL that Denmark has much worse hospital coverage than the EU in general. 43% of Danes have at least 20km to the nearest hospital, and to get to the 83% comparable number, the cutoff is around 35km.

      what kind of idiotic article is this, europe is insanely dense in terms of cities and infrastructure, of course everyone has a close by health institution

      I’m in the city, so if it’s anywhere near rush hour time, it’s 40mins.

      It almost takes 15 minutes to get to the other side of town where I live.

      Even with a drive, I’m not sure it’s 15 minutes away. Let me check.

      lol 16 minutes, I guess that’s good for ambulances. Still part of the minority, somehow, apparently. (looking at the map, the .5% of the region, huh – checks out, though)

      I am about 1h from hospital but it doesn’t matter because after you arrive you still need to wait a few hours to see a doctor

    21. Ok-Box1940 on

      Are you sure about that ? It seems to me a little optimistic. If you leave in a city maybe but if you are in the country it more like an hour in France

    24. BlueHeartbeat on

      The remaining 17% are unfortunately currently hospitalised. We hope they can go back to being 15 minutes away again soon.
