The Jamhuriat Hospital is a state-owned hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan.^[2]^[3] It is located in the affluent Shahr-e Naw neighborhood, between Shahr-e Naw Park, the former Presidential Palace, Abdul Rahman Mosque and Malalai High School. The hospital consists of a 4-story building and a 10-story building with the capacity of housing 350 patients. It was constructed in 2004 by engineers from China and laborers from Afghanistan.^[1]^[4]

The Jamuriat Hospital has a special pediatric oncology department, which was recently established by the Bayat Foundation.^[5] In October 2023, the Afghan Ministry of Public Health announced that the hospital will soon see a major renovation, and that some services of the hospital will temporarily be shifted to the nearby Jinnah Hospital.^[6]
