The Taliban group has closed seven health centers and clinics in various districts of Khost province after inspecting healthcare facilities.
According to a newsletter from Taliban security command in Khost, these centers were shut down due to using coded prescriptions for patients.
Health experts believe this action has negative effects and hinders people’s treatment process, especially for patients requiring urgent care.
Local residents say the Taliban chose closure instead of reforms and providing technical guidance, multiplying ordinary people’s problems.
Experts emphasize that such actions not only endanger patients’ lives but also weaken the health sector.
They believe the Taliban should pursue reforms and support for treatment centers instead of closing the only available medical facilities for people.
