Interesting comparison between London and Gaza.
In Gaza - with a population of 700,000 there are 36 Hospitals
Compared with London - with a population of 9 Million which has just 84 hospitals..
Perhaps we can get the UN to fund some more hospitals for us?

Gaza's population is (or was) 2.2 million.
Also, we don't know how big their hospitals are compared to those in London, which has some of the largest university teaching hospitals in Europe.

That's a fair point, a hospital could have wards for anywhere between 100 inpatients, or thousands, difficult to know what capacity Gaza had as a whole compared to London, in the first place.

Since Gaza isn't looking to provide healthcare for millions of foreigners they don't need lots of gigantic hospitals.

As a policy bringing in extra people mostly from countries with poor health regimes and who also have a significantly greater risk of diseases and conditions that account for at least 15% of our NHS budget is at best idiotic and at worst a criminal act. |

Per the last census 41% of London's population is foreign-born, that is around four million people, all of whom rely on the NHS for their healthcare provision.

I agree that we can't compare like for like, but Gaza has 68 hospitals. About 32,000 people per hospital. The same figure for London (9 million and 84 hospitals) is about 107,000, so the OP certainly has a point. |
