Kabul: The US-funded 20-bed Salang Hospital in the central Parwan province represented a significant step forward in provision of medical services for locals who previously had access to minimal medical care.
The hospital’s capabilities include internal medicine, pediatric, maternity, dentistry, nursing care, immunization, pharmaceutical and overnight hospitalization services round-the-clock, 7 days a week, according to Dr. Muhammad Qassim Saidee, provincial director for the Afghan Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
Funded under USFOR-A’s Commander’s Emergency Response Program, the Salang Hospital construction project costs nearly $600,000. |
