It would be interesting to study potential differences between public and private hospitals. For this reason, the non-parametric Mann–Whitney test was used. Results showed that the HMWUGR of the public pediatric and the public psychiatric hospitals were statistically higher than the corresponding generation rates of the same hospital categories of the private sector (at p < 0.05). On the other hand, private general and private birth hospitals had statistically higher total HMWUGR compared to the respective rates of the public hospitals (at p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were calculated between the IFTX generation rates of the public and private general hospitals
