Zan News: The Badakhshan Maternity Hospital has suspended operations due to the withdrawal of funding from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Medical sources in Badakhshan say that the hospital's operations have been suspended since the beginning of this month.
According to sources, the Badakhshan Maternity Hospital, which was funded by the WHO, was forced to suspend its activities from July 1st due to the withdrawal of support from the organization.
The suspension of the hospital's operations has led to the unemployment of 73 of its doctors and staff.
The hospital, which had 60 beds, provided services to many female patients in Badakhshan. Sources at the hospital have warned that with the suspension of its operations, many female patients will face widespread problems.
The World Health Organization has not yet commented on the withdrawal of its funding for the hospital.
This comes as the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has previously expressed concern about the reduction in the humanitarian budget for Afghanistan and its impact on various sectors, including health.
On the first of this month, the agency announced that it had only received $696 million in funding, which represents 22.8% of its initial request.
