If a city's population increases by 10 percent while hospital capacity remains unchanged, what is the most likely result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on health services per person may increase

Hospital capacity includes beds, doctors, nurses, equipment, and other facilities. If the city’s population rises by 10 percent while these resources remain unchanged, the same health system must serve more people. On average, available capacity per person falls. This may produce longer waiting times, crowded hospitals, heavier workloads, and more pressure on appointments and emergency services. The exact effect depends on health needs and service organisation, but pressure is the likely direction.

Option B is correct because it expresses this increased burden per person. Capacity does not automatically increase, so A is the opposite of what the conditions suggest. Hospitals do not become unnecessary, making C false. D is also incorrect because population size directly affects demand for health services. The question asks for the most likely result, not a guaranteed identical outcome in every hospital. The supplied answer and explanation are consistent.
