Overview
Honduras's hospital beds stood at 0.50 in 2025, a decline of +0.03 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.50 by 2025. Honduras ranked 109th globally.
Honduras’ hospital‑bed density has fallen sharply from an early‑period level of 1.65 beds per 1,000 people in 1960 to a historic low of 0.50 in 2025, the lowest figure among the 109 countries tracked by the World Bank. The all‑time peak of 1.75 beds per 1,000 occurred in 1970, after which a gradual decline accelerated in recent decades, leaving Honduras well below regional neighbours such as Guatemala (0.43) and Nepal (0.71). The 33‑year coverage window shows a persistent erosion of inpatient capacity, reflecting limited public‑health investment and demographic pressures. If fiscal priorities shift toward expanding health‑infrastructure financing, the downward trajectory could be halted; otherwise the current trough is likely to persist, constraining access to hospital services for the population.
