Healthcare in Kabul
What to expect if you need medical care
Healthcare infrastructure in Kabul is limited, with few facilities meeting international standards. In a serious medical emergency, evacuation to a neighboring country may be necessary, and medical evacuation costs can exceed $50,000 depending on distance. Even basic medical supplies may be scarce. Hospitals often require upfront payment or proof of insurance before providing treatment. Carry a basic first aid kit, and bring more prescription medications than you need as replacements may not be available locally.

Making a Claim in Kabul
Tips for smooth claims processing
Documentation Required: Medical reports, receipts, proof of travel, police report if applicable for theft/accidents
- Keep all medical reports and receipts (recibos) from Spanish healthcare providers, as these are essential for claims processing—documentation requirements are straightforward in Kabul
- If you experience theft or accidents requiring police involvement, obtain a 'denuncia' (police report) immediately, as insurers commonly request this documentation
- Save proof of your travel dates, including boarding passes and accommodation confirmations, to support your claim timeline
- Keep all receipts, medical records, and documentation in the original language plus English translation if possible
- Claims processing in Kabul is generally easy, but submit documentation promptly while details are fresh and all receipts are organized
