Medical facilities re-open in Herat

Herat, Afghanistan

A ceremony was held in Afghanistan’s western province of Herat yesterday to officially re-open and celebrate the completion of refurbishment activities on two medical facilities – a pediatric and a regional hospital.

Structural repairs were done on the regional hospital, and new medical equipment were installed in the first aid, radiology, laboratory analysis, and operating rooms. A new electrical system was also installed in the hospital. More than one million euros was spent on the pediatric hospital in order to bring it to near new status. Major renovations were made, and training for the medical and paramedical personnel was also provided. The pediatric hospital has 100 beds.

Together, the two hospitals provide medical care to more than 1 million people in Herat.
