The Kunduz Trauma Centre was a hospital operated by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Kunduz, Afghanistan from 29 August 2011 until 3 October 2015 when it was destroyed in an airstrike by a United States Air Force AC-130U gunship.
Before the bombing, the MSF's hospital was the only active medical facility in the area.[1] It has been the only trauma center in northeastern Afghanistan.
In 2014, more than 22,000 patients were treated at this emergency trauma center and more than 5,900 surgeries were performed.[2]
