Embassy of the United States Kabul, Afghanistan

The following information regarding medical services in Kabul is provided for informational purposes only. The U.S. Embassy cannot recommend a particular physician, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided by any facility or practitioner on this list. The Embassy is unable to pay for medical services for U.S. citizens in Afghanistan.

Generally, medical services in Afghanistan are extremely undeveloped. Facilities often lack basic cleanliness, diagnostic and treatment equipment, and even the most common medications. Private clinics are often operated by individuals without government licenses or even medical degrees. There is no public agency that monitors these operations. If eligible, you may wish to seek medical care on a Coalition Forces military base.

Telephone dialing instructions: All telephone numbers provided below are local access. When calling from outside of Afghanistan, you need to dial +93 and omit the first digit (usually a zero) from each of the numbers below.

Ambulance Service: The Kabul Ambulance Service is staffed and administrated by Afghan employees who have been trained and equipped by a Norwegian NGO. To access the ambulance service in an emergency, call 112 from a land line or 020-112 from a cell phone.

Medical Evacuation: The cost of medical evacuation from Kabul to Dubai or beyond can be prohibitive. We urge all travelers to Afghanistan to consider taking out insurance which covers urgent care, medical evacuation, and repatriation of remains.
