Over 200 health centers to be built across the country

KABUL, Feb. 25 – Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has announced it will build two hundred clinics throughout the country next year.

In an exclusive interview with Ariana News, public health minister Qalandar Ebad said the ministry is trying to standardize Afghanistan’s health system so that the health capacity is equal to international standards.

Ebad added to improve the capacity of health workers in the country, the ministry has short-term and long-term plans so that the capacity of doctors and health workers is equal to global standards.

He has stated that the death rate of maternal mortality during childbirth has significantly decreased compared to last year.

He also emphasized that the polio virus cases have reached zero in the country because, in 2022, only one positive case of polio has been recorded throughout Afghanistan.

The Minister of Public Health accepts the problems in the health sector, saying that there are still links in the health system that prevent the supply of better health services.

According to him, the ministry is trying to clean the health system from the existence of such people by identifying these circles.
