Caveats
New for this crosswalk pass: not currently ingested from World Bank directly (SH.MED.BEDS.ZS has zero rows in the warehouse), so this indicator has a single source and no cross-check. OWID's snapshot is a single 2023 cross-section for Nepal (0.54 beds per 1,000), not an annual series -- treat as a current-state figure, not a trend. A distinct concept from physicians_per_1000: this measures inpatient bed capacity, not clinical staffing.
