A nine-member medical team from Germany has arrived in Kabul in coordination with Afghanistan’s Ministry of Public Health and in partnership with Aga Khan Health Services (AKHS). During the two-week mission, the team will provide free diagnostic and specialised surgical services to patients in need at Bamiyan Provincial Hospital.
The services include plastic surgery, burn treatment, correction of congenital deformities, treatment of war-related injuries and other complex conditions.
The team expects to assess around 200 patients, with 100 to 150 selected for surgery. It will also provide theoretical and practical training for Afghan doctors, surgeons and medical students.
