Almost all businesses either observe or attempt to incorporate corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities into their operations  (Lubis, 2018). Since hospitals are also a type of economic institution and the only place that works to preserve human life, it is imperative to comply with the elements of CSR in order to improve performance and maintain the well-being of society and the environment. The role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has not been clear so far in Afghanistan&#039;s companies and organizations&#039; context. In addition to that, research under this title has not been conducted yet. The present study aims to evaluate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Afghanistan&#039;s states and private hospitals. From the total of 667 state and private hospitals, a sample of 146 hospitals has been selected for analyzing and testing the research hypothesis. The primary and secondary data have been used to show the role of CSR in Afghanistan hospitals. Furthermore, the multiple regression and correlation tests helped us estimate the role of CSR in Afghan hospitals. The result of the study shows that the level of CSR in Afghanistan hospitals, both public and private, is appropriate in all economic, legal, humanitarian, and ethical aspects, and the level of difference in central hospitals in ethical and humanitarian dimensions is higher than in non-central hospitals, while the level of difference in non-central hospitals in economic and legal dimensions is higher than in central hospitals.</p></abstract>
