Minimalism is not a clear concept. If we imagine an ideal
hospital, the best in the world at everything, is this
"maximalist" because it does everything and has all the best
equipment, or is it "minimalist" because it ONLY has that and
nothing unnecessary?

Instead of thinking if one should have a lot or a little,
I think one should have the best stuff available, and have
that as well organized as possible. Because if it isn't good,
and not organized, having just a little of it won't
help, really.
