the second sentence is only correct if there were a previous reference to they, otherwise we do not know who "they" are.
you could say
How many patients does this hospital every day?
the use of the passive in the first sentence is good because the understood "by someone" does nothave to refer to anyone in particular

I guess both of them are technically correct, but first one sounds more natural due to its passive structure.

Both right, and to me the 2nd sounds more like what I would say
