The number of acute care hospital beds in Turkey has shown a steady growth from 2.63 beds per thousand persons in 2013 to 2.91 beds per thousand persons in 2023. Over the last two years, this number has increased by 0.7% annually, indicating a stable yet gradual increase. Analyzing data over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at 0.7%, reflecting a moderate growth trajectory.
Looking ahead, the forecasted data suggests that the number of acute care hospital beds will continue to rise, reaching 3.0 beds per thousand persons by 2028. This represents a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 0.47%, equating to an approximate 2.39% growth rate over the five-year period. Although the growth rate appears to be slowing, Turkey is expected to sustain a consistent increase in acute care hospital bed availability.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in medical care, healthcare policy changes, and demographic shifts that may influence the demand for acute care facilities. Additionally, the continued response to global health challenges and pandemics could further shape the trends in hospital bed availability and healthcare infrastructure development in Turkey.
