Description

This document represents a key element in the development of the Afghan health system. The EPHS establishes what each type of hospital in the Afghan health system (district, provincial, and regional) should provide in terms of the services offered at each level and the resultant staff, equipment, diagnostic services, and medications required to provide those hospital services. This, in essence, establishes the standards for the hospitals of our country. The EPHS will help us develop the clinical and administrative standards by which our hospitals should operate and thereby improve quality. The ultimate purpose for the development of the EPHS has been to improve the quality of hospital services provided to the population of Afghanistan.

The EPHS is not a stand-alone document but clearly complements the Basic Package
of Health Services (BPHS).
