Four facilities were surveyed in Hirat province. The two last facilities, Shindand <strong>Hospital</strong> and<br />

Ghoryan <strong>Hospital</strong> have a small number of beds and correspond better to the definition of a<br />

health center with beds than that of a hospital. The latter seems to mainly provide maternity<br />

services.<br />

Hirat province has the largest of all hospitals surveyed: Hirat regional hospital, which<br />

provides a wide range of services besides the four main functions of a general hospital. Both<br />

Hirat Regional <strong>Hospital</strong> and Guzara District <strong>Hospital</strong> provide TB care services.<br />

Because of the large number of beds of the Hirat Regional <strong>Hospital</strong>, the ratio of population<br />

per bed in the province is relatively low, at 1,950. However, sizeable portions of the<br />

provincial population have little access to hospital services, especially in the Eastern part of<br />

the province.<br />
