Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's hospital beds stood at 1.43 in 2021, a rise of +0.04 from 2020. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 95th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s hospital‑bed density has risen modestly from 1.08 beds per 1,000 people in 1960 to 1.43 in 2021, placing the country 95th globally. The indicator peaked at 1.55 in 2011, a year marked by intensified conflict that nevertheless coincided with a temporary expansion of health‑care infrastructure, before falling back toward its current level. The all‑time trough of 0.99 in 1970 reflects a period of limited public investment in the health sector. Compared with regional peers, Syria’s 2021 figure is slightly below West Bank and Gaza’s 1.49 and above Jordan’s 1.39, suggesting a middle‑of‑the‑road performance within the Middle East. Coverage of the series spans 31 years, allowing observation of gradual improvement despite political instability. If peace and reconstruction efforts accelerate, additional resources for hospitals could raise bed availability, potentially shifting the upward trajectory beyond the 2011 peak in the coming decade.
