The province of Balkh has a relatively good hospital coverage compared with the rest of<br />
<strong>Afghanistan</strong>. The average population per hospital bed is 2,660.<br />
Six facilities were surveyed, of which two cannot be considered “real hospitals”: Hairatan<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> and Tafahosat <strong>Hospital</strong> respectively have 4 and 3 beds, and operate as basic health<br />
centers.<br />
The other four hospitals provide the four main services of general hospitals and are used as<br />
referral facilities in the province. All facilities are located on functional roads, and are<br />
concentrated in the North Eastern part of the province (districts of Hairatan, Dehdadi, Khulm,<br />
Balkh and I Mazar-i-Sharif). Given the distribution of population in Balkh province, it can be<br />
considered that up to 35% of the population has acceptable access to hospital care.<br />
