Taliban Administration Claims Drug Smuggling Halted Since Regaining Control
The Director General of Administrative Affairs has claimed that drug smuggling into Afghanistan has stopped following the Taliban administration’s return to power. He made these remarks during the second International Health Exhibition.
These claims come as the health sector in Afghanistan continues to face numerous challenges, with people deprived of adequate medical services due to restrictions, economic difficulties, and infrastructural problems.
Holding such exhibitions under the current conditions is considered a limited achievement and does not conceal the deep-rooted problems within the country’s health system. There has been widespread criticism of the Taliban administration’s performance in supplying essential medical equipment and drugs.
The Taliban administration asserts that progress has been made in the health sector and that drug smuggling is under control; however, no independent reports are yet available to confirm these claims.
