Two Nangarhar clinics receive upgrades

Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan

The Afghan government recently completed refurbishment projects on two clinics in the Darah-ey Noor district in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Nangarhar, a NATO news release said today. The cost of the construction work was $66,000 and it took more than a year and a half to complete. The project added a waiting room, a food storage room, and a delivery room for the clinics. The news report said that the “two clinics will serve roughly 25,000 people in the district and assist in delivering approximately 75 children per month”. Dr. Baz Mohammad Shirzad, the provincial public health director praised the location of the project. “Because the clinics are built in a highly rural area, the people of Darah-ye Noor who rarely visit more advanced urban hospitals now have a viable, sophisticated healthcare option readily available.”
