The acting Minister of Public Health at the opening of a maternal and children's hospital in Kabul that cost nearly 300 million Afs, said that although the maternal mortality rate in Afghanistan is higher than in any other country, the maternal mortality rate last year reached more than five hundred people, and in 2023 it is 250 people so far.

Qalandar Ebad said that there is a need for female health professionals in the health sector, and the Islamic Emirate is trying to pay serious attention to the sector.

"Providing good services at mother and child clinics and taking care of patients on time has caused the death rate of mothers and children in the country to decrease to 256," said Qalandar Ebad, acting head of the Public Health Ministry.
