Project Description

Construction of a 20 bed District Hospital

Project Goals

Provide hospital level healthcare to people from Shibar, Sayghan, Tala Wa Barfak, and Kahmard Districts. This facility will endear the GIRoA to the population, exercising the principles of COIN. This should result in increased security related information, and turn them away from INS influence in the AO. A new hospital in this area shows the population that the GIRoA is providing for their medical needs and future. This hospital improves the quality of life of the population by providing a solution to their health care needs. The human capacity of the region will greatly increase as the next generation recieves care that will improve their quality and length of life.

10 December 2011- Submit CERP nomintions in CENTRIX.

09 Jan12: Final Inspection conducted by Project PM 1LT Leopold Odah and USACE Engineer Mr. Barry Brockway. Outside and inside walls plastered. Windows and doors installation in progress. Start tiling the floor. Work currently ceased because original cost estimate was too low. 75% o work completed.

02 MAR 2012: Work halted due to finance issues. Project IGCE is far lower than the lowest bidding contractor. Working with BDE S-9 for additional funds in order to complete the project, what seems impossible. 

02 April 2012: Found original contractor bids. One was for $475,000, one was for $2 mil, and the rest were all right around $1 mil. Apparently this did not raise any flags and they started the project when it should have been reevaluated. As there are no additional funds for this province to finish the project, we are teminating this project and the locals will have a half-complete hospital that which the MoPH never planned to equip or staff regardless. The PM will begin termination paperwork once he returns from R&R. -KMG

14 MAY: Project on hold due to payment issue. Waiting for close of Panjab Hospital before terminating. SM.
