Maternity Hospital in Badakhshan Halts Operations Due to Lack of Funds

Local sources in Afghanistan’s northeastern Badakhshan province have reported the closure of a 60-bed maternity hospital due to a lack of funds, further worsening the healthcare challenges in the region.

According to sources, the World Health Organization (WHO) had been funding the hospital previously. However, beginning in July, the organization ceased its support, leading to the hospital’s immediate closure.
