New Primary Healthcare Center Opens in Tagab, Kapisa with $60,000 Funding
The Taliban’s Ministry of Public Health has announced the opening of a primary healthcare center in the Tagab district of Kapisa province, providing services to local residents. Bakhtar News Agency, under Taliban administration, reported on Monday, February 15, that this center was built with a budget of $60,000.
The report did not specify the source of funding for the project, leaving it unclear which institution or entity financed the amount. The lack of transparency regarding the financial sources of public projects has consistently been a concern raised by citizens and oversight organizations.
According to the information published, with the activation of this center, primary health services will be offered to residents of Tagab district. Tagab is one of the districts of Kapisa province in northeastern Afghanistan, where several villages are located in relatively remote areas, and access to healthcare services has always been limited.
This development comes amid the closure of more than 400 health centers across various parts of the country following the suspension of financial aid from the United States to Afghanistan. This situation has severely hindered thousands of residents, especially those in remote areas, from accessing basic healthcare services.
Citizens in many districts continue to complain about the shortage of health centers, lack of equipment, and insufficient healthcare staff. The Taliban administration is expected to present a clear and transparent plan for funding and sustaining health services to prevent the expansion of the health crisis.
