Successful Surgery Saves Child Transferred from Kandahar to Kabul Ebadullah.Ebadi Mon, 04/13/2026 - 21:17 Author Hadia Ziaei Health The Ministry of Public Health has announced the successful surgery of a child who had been transferred from Kandahar to Kabul. According to the ministry, a foreign object was successfully removed from the child’s respiratory system. The Ministry also highlighted progress in the health sector and assured continued efforts to expand medical services in the provinces. Sharafat Zaman Amarkhil, spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health, said: “The important point is that if this child had come to a hospital in this condition years ago, they would have been referred abroad. Now, we routinely perform such procedures in our own hospitals. We provide these kinds of services in various departments of public hospitals, and cooperation with the private sector is also one of our goals.” Gulsom is not yet one year old but has gone through a serious ordeal. Three months ago, she swallowed a piece of bone that entered her respiratory system, forcing her family to search for treatment from one hospital to another. Eventually, she was transferred to Kabul and treated at the Indira Gandhi Children’s Hospital. Mohammad Akbar Iqbal, a doctor, said: “Her respiratory system had also been damaged, but the operation was successful, and the patient is now under close medical care.” Gulsom’s father, showing both exhaustion and relief, spoke of three months of hardship to save his child. He expressed gratitude for her transfer to Kabul by helicopter by the Islamic Emirate and for her treatment. At the same time, he stressed that the lack of infrastructure in the provinces creates serious challenges for families and called for the establishment of well-equipped hospitals in provincial areas. Nematullah, Gulsom’s father, said: “Such hospitals should also be built in our provinces, with proper facilities and doctors available.” This comes as a number of surgeries have been carried out in public and private hospitals across the country over the past year—procedures that were previously performed abroad.
