RASC News Agency: The Doctors Without Borders organization in Afghanistan recently announced an increase in the number of patients in their hospitals this year. Operating in provinces such as Balkh, Herat, and Helmand, along with several other regions in Afghanistan, the organization has witnessed a noticeable rise in patient admissions under the control of the Taliban group.
In a message published on the X social media platform on Sunday, November 12th, the organization reported that a total of 268,394 patients sought medical assistance from January to June of this year. Out of this total, Doctors Without Borders stated that 179,860 individuals were treated in the emergency department, while 50,019 others required hospitalization due to their health conditions.
Additionally, the organization revealed that emergency services were provided to 8,864 people, surgical services were rendered to 7,629 individuals, and over 22,000 births were registered in their hospitals during this period. These statistics highlight the immense demand for healthcare services in Afghanistan, particularly in the face of the economic and humanitarian crises caused by the resurgence of the Taliban group.
The re-emergence of the Taliban group in Afghanistan has had far-reaching consequences, affecting various sectors, including the healthcare system. The country’s health system has encountered significant challenges and crises as a result. However, the Doctors Without Borders organization has been working tirelessly to address these issues by operating eight hospitals across different provinces in Afghanistan. Despite the difficult circumstances, the organization remains committed to providing essential healthcare services to those in need.
