Local sources report that Abdul Hakim Hemat, a former health ministry official in the Taliban government, has been reappointed to a senior role. He was previously dismissed due to widespread financial corruption during the national measles vaccine campaign.
According to reports, this Taliban government official now serves as the head of the mass immunity department. Sources indicate he embezzled hundreds of thousands of Afghanis by using substandard transport vehicles while billing for standard logistics across various provinces.
This controversial appointment comes as measles continues to threaten the lives of Afghan children. Earlier reports showed that dozens of sick patients have already died in local hospitals due to the ongoing outbreak.
