Wounded victims of school bombing complain of poor health service

Some of the victims of Kabul school bombing complain about poor health services at high-profile government-run hospitals. Fatima, a schoolgirl who was wounded in Kabul school bombing, has undergone three surgeries but her wounds have yet to recover. She says that the third x-ray showed that there was five shrapnel in his feet though surgeons had operated her feet twice. “They operated me for the third time. They had stitched up all my wounds in Aliabad Hospital but [doctors] at Mohammad Ali Jenah Hospital said they shouldn’t have stitched up the wounds”.

She had undergone two surgeries in Aliabad Hospital where doctors took out around 90 shrapnel from her feet. Fatima was hospitalized for three days and discharged from Istiqlal Hospital after bandaging herself there. Her condition got worse two days later while resting at home and her family transferred her back to Istiqlal Hospital but the hospital did not receive her as its personnel were on weekend holidays and asked her family to come back two days later. Later, Fatima was admitted to Mohammad Ali Jenah Hospital with the help of a group providing assistance for victims of Sayed ul-Shuhada High School bombing.
