Hospital beds per 1,000 people SH.MED.BEDS.ZS
Morocco's hospital beds was 0.74 in 2025, ranked 107th globally. This represents a 1.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Morocco's hospital beds stood at 0.74 in 2025, a rise of +0.01 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.74 by 2025. Morocco ranked 107th globally.
Morocco’s hospital‑bed density has fallen from its all‑time peak of 1.60 beds per 1,000 people in 1960 to a trough of 0.70 in 2019, before rising slightly to 0.74 in 2025, placing the kingdom at rank 107 globally. The long‑term decline reflects a shift toward outpatient care and limited public investment in inpatient capacity, a pattern shared by many low‑ and middle‑income states that have prioritized primary‑care expansion over hospital infrastructure. Compared with peers, Morocco’s 2025 figure of 0.74 is marginally lower than Rwanda’s 0.75 and higher than Nepal’s 0.71, yet it remains well below the Dominican Republic’s 0.92 and far above Honduras’s 0.50, underscoring the heterogeneity of health‑system development across comparable economies. The 29‑year coverage window captures the gradual erosion of beds per capita, despite recent modest improvement. Continued fiscal allocation to hospital construction and reforms that incentivize private‑sector participation could reverse the downward trajectory and bring Morocco’s bed density closer to regional averages.
