OVERVIEW OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN
GUINEA-BISSAU
The healthcare system in Guinea-Bissau is characterized by limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. The country faces numerous challenges in providing quality healthcare to its population. It is estimated by UNICEF that 66%. of the population lives more than 5km from the nearest health structure, the national average is one health center for more than 13.500 inhabitants and the doctor-patient ratio is 0.20 doctors per 1000 inhabitants.
The healthcare services are mostly concentrated in Bissau and the regional capitals. Currently, there is one major hospital in Bissau (hospital Nacional Simão Mendes ) and 10 other hospitals across the enbre country. Limited transportabon infrastructure and long distances to healthcare facilibes make it difficult for many people to access medical care, addibonally, the cost of healthcare services can be a barrier for those living in poverty.
