Female Doctor Opens Women’s Health Clinic in Balkh

A female doctor has opened a women’s health clinic in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital city of the northern Balkh province. She has invested at least USD 200,000 to build the clinic in order to showcase Afghan women’s entrepreneurial capacities as they face increasing restrictions from the Taliban leadership in Kabul.

The clinic provides essential medical care for skin diseases, maternity services, gynecology, and orthopedic services for women.
