The Taliban administration has rejected claims circulating on social media that a woman gave birth outside Doctors Without Borders hospital in Khost, saying she collapsed on the ground as her health worsened while being transferred to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The press office of the Taliban-appointed provincial governor said on Thursday, Oct. 23, that a joint team from the governor\u2019s office and the public health department had investigated the incident.<\/p>\n
According to the Taliban administration, the woman had been transferred from a clinic to the Doctors Without Borders hospital because of high blood pressure. However, when she got out of the vehicle, her condition deteriorated and she fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
The statement said several women at the scene covered the patient, after which female doctors at the hospital brought her inside for treatment.<\/p>\n
The Taliban provincial office said the findings of the investigating team differed from the reports published on social media. It added that it also has statements from one of the woman\u2019s family members, but is not publishing them due to what it described as social sensitivities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
