Description

The BPHS is the foundation of the Afghan health system and has been the key instrument in
its development. The BPHS clearly delineates the services that should be provided by each
type of primary health care (PHC) facility in the Afghan health system—health posts, basic
health centers, comprehensive health centers and district hospitals—and specifies the staff,
equipment, diagnostic services, and medications required to provide those services. In
essence, the BPHS is the basis for the primary health care system of Afghanistan and
establishes its standards. The BPHS 2005/1384 and the Essential Package of Hospital Services 2005 (EPHS) together define the Afghan health system’s entire referral system, from the health post at the village level to tertiary care in the major urban centers.
