The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on available intensive care capacity decreased from the previous year, and the number of surgical procedures increased by 10.5% on 2020. However, the 2019 level was still not regained. A total of 86,772 surgical procedures were performed, of which 65,214 were non-urgent (+16%) and 21,523 were emergency surgeries (-4%).

We made 420 organ transplantations in 2020, and the coronavirus pandemic did not affect their number in the year under review either.
