Since the Department of Health and Human Services chose Rabia Balkhi Hospital (RBH) in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a site for intervention in 2002, the status of women's health there has been of interest. This study created a tool to assess accessibility and quality of care of women admitted from May to July, 2005.
A 39-item questionnaire was created in English and translated into Dari. Hospital staff administered the survey to 292 women admitted to RBH for obstetric and gynecological complaints.
Approximately 40% of the women traveled between 1 and 5 hours to reach RBH. Only 54% (158/292) of women reported having their blood pressure monitored during their pregnancy. About one-third of women reported that they had never received an immunization.
This survey tool ascertained that women who received care at RBH traveled great lengths to reach the facility. Preventative measures such as blood pressure checks and immunizations are areas that need improvement.
自2002年美国卫生与公众服务部选择阿富汗喀布尔的拉比娅·巴尔基医院（RBH）作为干预地点以来，那里的妇女健康状况一直备受关注。本研究创建了一种工具，用于评估2005年5月至7月收治的女性患者获得医疗服务的可及性和医疗质量。
编制了一份39项的英文问卷，并翻译成达里语。医院工作人员对因妇产科疾病入住RBH的292名女性进行了调查。
约40%的女性前往RBH的路程在1至5小时之间。只有54%（158/292）的女性报告在孕期接受过血压监测。约三分之一的女性报告从未接种过疫苗。
该调查工具确定，在RBH接受治疗的女性为到达该机构长途跋涉。血压检查和疫苗接种等预防措施是需要改进的方面。
