Overview
Timor-Leste's hospital beds stood at 0.37 in 2025, a decline of +0.01 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.37 by 2025. Timor-Leste ranked 112th globally.
Timor‑Leste’s provision of hospital beds has slipped from 0.44 per 1,000 people in 2010, the year of its all‑time peak, to 0.37 per 1,000 in 2025, the lowest level recorded over the ten‑year span and ranking it 112th globally. This decline represents a reduction of roughly 16 percent and places the nation below peers such as Yemen (0.42) and Guatemala (0.43) while remaining above Afghanistan (0.34) and far above Togo (0.09). The downward trajectory coincides with limited public health financing and a modest expansion of private facilities, which together have constrained capacity growth despite a rising population. Persistent gaps in infrastructure and workforce shortages have further hampered efforts to reverse the trend. If fiscal allocations to health are increased and targeted investments in hospital construction are pursued, Timor‑Leste could stabilize or even improve its bed density, moving it closer to regional averages in the coming years.
