Overview
Equatorial Guinea's hospital beds stood at 2.10 in 2010, a rise of +0.20 from 2009. Equatorial Guinea ranked 86th globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s hospital‑bed density fell dramatically from the all‑time peak of 5.00 beds per 1,000 people in 1960 to a trough of 1.90 in 2009, before a modest rebound to 2.10 in 2010, placing the country 86th globally. The decline reflects persistent under‑investment in health infrastructure despite rising oil revenues, while the slight improvement in 2010 still lags behind regional peers such as Panama (2.13) and Trinidad and Tobago (2.05). Over the four‑year coverage window the modest increase suggests limited policy shifts rather than a sustained expansion. If the government expands public financing for hospitals and improves supply‑chain efficiency, the upward trajectory could accelerate, narrowing the gap with neighboring comparators and enhancing population health outcomes.
