Sahebzada stated, “We are striving to attract skilled personnel and specialists to hospitals in Afghanistan and provide them with work opportunities. The goal of the Ministry of Public Health of the Islamic Emirate is to continuously increase and better equip its health centers.”
Zabihullah Hosseini, the head of public health in Jawzjan, said, “We are surveying vulnerable and underserved areas that lack access to healthcare services.”
These medical centers, which have cost over 31 million Afghanis, have been funded by an international organization.

According to information from the Jawzjan Public Health Directorate, this is the fourth medical center to be inaugurated in remote districts of this province in the past two days.
