Project Goals

a. The hospital compound, particularly as it relates to the Women's clinic, is directly across the street from the Governor's compound wall where an IED and armed attack took place. About 40% o the hospital, including the Women's clinic outer buildings in the women's area, the mortuary, the mental ward, and possibly the blood bank/lab suffered blown out windows and door frame damage. The back gate to the women's clinic was demolished, and some of the render (aka plaster & cement) was removed on the outer wall of the compound.

 b. Based on meetings between the Hospital Staff, Afghan Health Development Systems (AHDS), and Ministry of Health, if the PRT could fund repairs to the back gate, the windows and doors/door frames, then these repairs would restore the quality of accommodations and thus health conditions to the patients at the Hospital, which serves the people of Uruzgan. 

 c. The Tarin Kowt Provincial Hospital serves approximately 10,000 people in Tarin Kowt, as well as emergency cases throughout all of Uruzgan that are brought in for treatment. 

 d. Reasonable measures have been taken to ensure that other aid and reconstruction funds (local, national, donor nation, nongovernment organization (NGO) or other resources) are not available.

Results

The blast damage repair to the Tarin Kowt Hospital has been repaired IAW the signed contract and the SoW. The facility is now in the condition it was in prior to the damage being incurred.
