Overview
Haiti's hospital beds stood at 4.72 in 2025, a decline of +0.18 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.72 by 2025. Haiti ranked 25th globally.
Haiti’s hospital‑bed density has risen from a low of 0.61 beds per 1,000 people in 1960 to 4.72 in 2025, placing it 25th globally. The all‑time peak of 5.29 beds per 1,000 was recorded in 2018, after which the figure slipped modestly over the subsequent seven years, reflecting limited capacity growth despite a 17‑year coverage window. Compared with peers, Haiti’s 2025 level is slightly below the European Union average of 4.99 and Uzbekistan’s 4.98, yet it exceeds Dominica’s 4.43, suggesting a modest regional advantage in a largely under‑resourced health system. The gradual decline from the 2018 peak may be linked to fiscal constraints, infrastructure deterioration, and recurrent natural disasters that strain the health sector. Continued investment in hospital infrastructure, coupled with disaster‑resilient planning, could reverse the recent downward drift and sustain incremental improvements in bed availability.
