Overview
Cambodia's hospital beds stood at 0.73 in 2018, a decline of +0.10 from 2015. Cambodia ranked 124th globally.
Cambodia's hospital bed availability has experienced significant fluctuations over the years, with the country's ranking plummeting to 124 globally in 2018, when it had 0.73 hospital beds per 1,000 people. This marked a stark contrast to the 1988 peak of 2.10 hospital beds per 1,000 people, a period when healthcare infrastructure was somewhat more developed in the country. Conversely, the 2005 trough of 0.59 hospital beds per 1,000 people represented a nadir in Cambodia's healthcare capacity. Compared to peer countries, Cambodia's hospital bed availability lags behind that of Somalia, which had 0.87 hospital beds per 1,000 people in 2018, and Rwanda, which had a similar ranking to Cambodia. The persistent gap in hospital bed availability underscores the need for continued investment in healthcare infrastructure in Cambodia. A significant increase in funding for healthcare and improved healthcare outcomes could potentially alter this trajectory.
