The World Vision organization is supporting the fight against the coronavirus pandemic with $200,000 worth of medical supplies, said Mohammad Rafiq Shirzai, a spokesman for the provincial health department.
These equipment and needed supplies will also be distributed to COVID-19 centers and other medical facilities, Mr. Shirzai added.
Herat had faced severe shortages of medical gear and supplies despite the government’s huge financial supports for handling the coronavirus crisis.
Medical doctors as well as patients, however, complain about the shortages of medical drugs and equipment, accusing authorities in the provincial health ministry of failure in this regard.
