ASADABAD (Pajhwok): A shortage of gynaecologists and skilled midwives has been a source of serious trouble for women in eastern Kunar province, residents and public health officials say.
But authorities say a midwifery training process is currently underway. They hope the problem will be resolved with the completion of the training programme in three years from now.
Director of Public Health Dr. Asadullah Fazli says programmes for training educated girls as midwives have been launched in several provinces with the support of foreign donors.

ASADABAD (Pajhwok): The provincial council head in eastern Kunar province on Monday said apart from establishing good rapport among people and provincial officials, they had achieved some targets in the past six months.
Din Mohammad Peelot, Kunar provincial council head, told Pajhwok Afghan News in an exclusive interview their main priority over the past six months was to resolve people’s problems.
“In the last few years, majority of people’s problems occurred due to distance between people and government. We tried to bridge the gap and bring them together,” he said.
