How this works
Where the numbers come from
Each hospital files its own bed numbers, from its own sign-in. Nobody else can change them — not this service, and not the district health office. That is what makes them worth reading.
Why every number has a time on it
A bed count is true for minutes. So every figure here is printed with when the hospital last filed it, and a hospital that filed 12 hours ago is shown below one that filed 90 minutes ago, however many beds each says it has. A number without its age is a number you cannot use.
What this can't tell you
Whether a bed will still be free when you arrive, and whether a hospital can treat what you need treated. Both are questions for the hospital, on the phone number on its page. Ring before you set off.
Distances
Distances here are straight lines on a map, not driving distances. In a city the road is often half again as far.
Who is listed
A hospital is added by hand, with its registration checked at the time it is added. Its page prints the body it is registered with and the number it is registered under, so you can check it yourself. Being listed here is not a recommendation, and this service does not rank hospitals by anything except what they have reported and how far away they are.
What we keep
If you sign in, your mobile number and the hospitals you saved. When you search for what is near you, your location stays on your phone — the sorting happens in your browser and the position is never sent to us.
