The recent earthquakes in Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, and most regions of the world show buildings inadequacy in bearing the earthquakes forces. Knowing the performance of hospital systems earthquakes is important. Seismic vulnerability assessment estimates the amount and probability of damage to buildings under an earthquake's possible effects. The purpose of this study is to quickly assess the seismic vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete hospital buildings in Kabul City using rapid visual screening methods and compare the results of these methods. In this research, 23 hospitals that have 60 reinforced concrete buildings were subjected to rapid seismic vulnerability assessment, according to FEMA P-154, Iranian Code#364, ATC-21, RVS Modified for Malaysia, and IIT Bombay, using field surveys with entering the buildings. The buildings evaluated in all utilized methods were estimated to be seismically vulnerable in the occurrence of a possible earthquake and the probability of this vulnerability varies from low to high. The final scores from the FEMA P-154 and ATC-21 were in consistence and showed the lowest estimation compared to the other methods. The final scores from the IIT Bombay method showed the highest estimation. The estimated final scores of Iranian Code#364, RVS Modified for Malaysia were between them. FEMA P-154 and ATC-21 methods estimated the most damage statuses. RVS Modified for Malaysia, Iranian Code#364, and IIT Bombay method showed lower damage statuses, respectively. The IIT Bombay method showed the lowest damage status. Based on their results, these buildings need a detailed vulnerability assessment to provide suitable rehabilitation or retrofitting plans.
