Overview
Azerbaijan's hospital beds stood at 3.60 in 2025, a decline of +0.08 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.60 by 2025. Azerbaijan ranked 44th globally.
Azerbaijan's hospital bed coverage has experienced significant fluctuations over the past four decades. With a current ratio of 3.60 beds per 1,000 people, ranking #44 globally, the country lags behind its peers, such as the Kyrgyz Republic, which boasts a slightly higher ratio of 3.62 beds. In contrast, Azerbaijan's hospital bed coverage peaked at 10.54 beds in 1992, during the aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and has since declined by over 66%. This decline is largely attributed to rapid urbanization and a shift in healthcare priorities. Currently, Azerbaijan's hospital bed coverage is at its all-time trough, mirroring the trends observed in other countries with similar economic profiles, such as Libya. As Azerbaijan continues to invest in its healthcare system and address the needs of its growing population, a reversal of this trend is expected, potentially driven by government initiatives to increase healthcare expenditure and improve access to medical services.
