Three consulting doctors from Turkmenistan have arrived in Herat province where they will provide medical treatment to Afghan women and children at the Turgundi maternity hospital.
The doctors, who were deployed by the president of Turkmenistan, arrived in the country this week. The hospital was built by Turkmenistan in 2016.
Turkmenistan’s ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement that the doctors were warmly welcomed and that the specialists “have begun their work to provide women and children with appropriate care in the maternity hospital.”
The doctors will be stationed at the hospital until the end of May.
Early this month, the Consulate General of Turkmenistan in Afghanistan (Herat) held a humanitarian action program after the completion of major renovations at the hospital.
During the event, necessary medicines and medical supplies were also provided as humanitarian aid.
