Despite poor health conditions in Afghanistan, women are excluded from medical training

Kabul: Taliban has banned girls’ education in Afghanistan. Banning girls’ education after the Taliban came to power on August 15 in 2021, he said the ban will continue until “Islamic” “studies” are included in the new curriculum. Even though three years have passed since those statements, your curriculum is not designed for those girls.

Girls who could not study before. They are barred from training in nursing or midwifery.

Now the question arises that Afghanistan still needs at least 18,000 more midwives. Why can that need be met now? This has been asked in a health report of the United Nations.

The only school in Afghanistan providing some education for girls and boys has also closed.

In fact, these midwives also work as doctors because male doctors have no right to examine women unless a man who is the next of kin or husband of the female patient is present at the time of medical examination.

Now the Taliban has stopped nursing or midwifery services for women. It is certain that there is pressure on family income among women.
