Hospital beds per 1,000 people SH.MED.BEDS.ZS
Tunisia's hospital beds was 2.20 in 2025, ranked 73rd globally. This represents a 20.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's hospital beds stood at 2.20 in 2025, a rise of +0.38 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.20 by 2025. Tunisia ranked 73rd globally.
Tunisia’s hospital‑bed density has slipped from a post‑industrial peak of 2.86 beds per 1,000 people in 1992 to a low of 1.67 in 2003, before modestly recovering to 2.20 in 2025, placing the country 73rd worldwide. The 34‑year coverage record shows a gradual downward trend despite occasional policy interventions, and the current level remains slightly below that of Bhutan (2.24) and Botswana (2.25) while exceeding Cyprus (2.12) and the United Arab Emirates (2.11). The early‑1990s high reflected expansive public‑sector investment in health infrastructure, but fiscal constraints and demographic shifts contributed to the early‑2000s trough. Recent modest increases suggest renewed attention to hospital capacity, yet the figure remains well short of the 1960 baseline of 2.47. Continued investment in health facilities and efficient allocation of resources will be essential to reverse the long‑term decline and move Tunisia toward a higher bed‑per‑population ratio.
