This resident of Takhar province says: “He has been under treatment since he was born until he turned one year old. This is the fourth time I have brought him here; but his illness has not been revealed.”
Takhar State Hospital is witnessing a large number of patients living in Taleqan, its center and its districts.
Some residents of Takhar say that there are no proper health services in this hospital and the doctors do not treat the patients properly and the patients are charged a fee.
Fazal Ahmad, a resident of Takhar, says: “We also want the attention of doctors, because our people are in great need.”
Mohammad Noor Ahmadi, a resident of Takhar, says: “There is not much attention. We take medicine from outside. “There is not enough medicine in the hospital.”
