Overview
Côte d'Ivoire's hospital beds stood at 0.40 in 2006, a decline of +0.41 from 1990. Côte d'Ivoire ranked 117th globally.
Côte d'Ivoire’s hospital‑bed density fell from 1.35 beds per 1,000 people in 1960, the year of its all‑time peak, to just 0.40 in 2006, the lowest figure recorded in the World Bank series and the 117th position globally. This decline represents a reduction of roughly 70 % over 46 years, eroding the country’s capacity to meet basic health‑care needs and placing it on par with Mauritania and Sierra Leone, both reporting 0.40 beds per 1,000, and only slightly below Pakistan’s 0.46. The downward trajectory coincided with periods of political instability and limited public‑sector investment, which constrained the expansion of hospital infrastructure despite population growth. With only five years of data covering the full span, the trend suggests that without substantial policy reforms, increased financing, and targeted expansion of health facilities, Côte d'Ivoire is likely to remain at the lower end of global hospital‑bed provision in the near future.
