Project Goals

Goals: Currently Shindand District, with an approximate population of 240,000, does not have adequate advanced health services. This project will enhance the quality of and quanitity of care facilities. 

Provide advanced health services where services are not currently avaliable 

The project will not only improve our standing of the municipal, district and provincial government, as well as the GIRoA, with the residents of Herat Municipality. This Project makes use of Italian and Afghan engineers from PRT Herat. 

The endstate of this project is to meet the need of healthcare for the population of Shindand. It also intends to showcase the district and provincial government's intentions to serve the population of Herat Municipality. Another goal is to enhance synergy between US and Italian development (BUILD as per COMISAF's SHAPE, CLEAR, HOLD, BUILD) efforts through this combined project.

Results

The hospital continues to function at a low capacity due to the lack of funding for generator fuel. The hospital is seeing approximately 300 patients per day, and is conducting surgery when required.
