Pakistan-funded hospital in Afghanistan facing severe economic crisis
Islamabad/Kabul: Jinnah Hospital, a Pakistan-funded health facility in Afghanistan, is facing serious administrative and operational issues due to the non-availability of funds, media reports said on Friday.
The Pak-funded hospital is not able to disburse salaries, pay the cost of medicines and meet other operational expenditures. The hospital is not even in a position to provide clean drinking water, reports ANI.
Pakistan Embassy in Kabul, in this context, has, therefore, requested the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs to consider approaching an international organization, through the Afghan authorities, for necessary financial assistance, if it was not possible for Pak MoFA to resolve the outstanding issues within a short period of time, the news agency reported.
Pakistan is experiencing a political and economic crisis at present.
