Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's hospital beds stood at 2.35 in 2019, a decline of +0.04 from 2018. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 77th globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's hospital bed coverage has experienced a notable decline over the past three and a half decades. At its peak in 1981, the country boasted 4.92 hospital beds per 1,000 people, a figure that significantly exceeded its nearest peer, the United Kingdom, which had 3.45 hospital beds per 1,000 people during the same period. However, the country's fortunes took a drastic turn in 2001, when hospital bed coverage plummeted to its all-time low of 1.92 beds per 1,000 people. Although coverage has since recovered, reaching 2.35 beds per 1,000 people in 2019, it still lags behind its regional peers, including the United Kingdom, which had 2.44 beds per 1,000 people in the same year. The country's healthcare infrastructure continues to face challenges, and a sustained economic recovery would be crucial in supporting further improvements in hospital bed coverage.
