In 2020, there were 29 hospitals in Estonia. Since 2000, the number of hospitals in Estonia has fallen significantly from 68 hospitals to only 29 in 2020. The number of hospitals remained the same from 2013 to 2018, although there was a break in series, so the source may have changed certain standards resulting in this value drop.
Healthcare workers in Estonia
Although the number of healthcare institutions in Estonia has decreased, the number of personnel working within them have remained stable. The number of physicians in Estonia in the period 2000 to 2020 has held steady, not changing by more than three hundred employees. In addition, the number of practicing nurses experienced more fluctuations over the time period, yet amounted to over eight thousand in 2018, which was an increase on the preceding five years.
Spending indicators on health

In comparison to other European countries, Estonia ranked rather low on the share of GDP spent on health expenditures. Germany had the highest share of expenditure on health, spending 12.8 percent of its GDP in this year.
