The Kabul Tribune (KT) — The Taliban-run Public Health Ministry said its officials have held talks with representatives from China on strengthening health cooperation, including the deployment of Chinese medical specialists to Afghanistan.
In a statement, the ministry said the experts would be sent to expand medical collaboration between the two countries.
Discussions also covered efforts to enhance scientific capacity in traditional medicine, improve disaster response management, strengthen the skills of healthcare workers, and establish traditional medicine centers.
According to the statement, both sides agreed to invite Chinese specialists to assist in monitoring and preventing infectious diseases in Afghanistan.
Since the Taliban’s return to power, Afghanistan’s healthcare system has faced significant challenges, with hundreds of health facilities reportedly closed across the country.
