Patients who have come to this hospital for treatment have expressed satisfaction with the establishment of such medical camps and urged the Ministry of Health and the Afghan Red Crescent to provide more free medical services for them.
Mohammad Ishaq, a patient, said: “We thank the government and the charity organization that is treating us.”
Sardar, another patient, said: “My vision is weak. I heard that doctors from the Red Crescent are here, so I came from Kunduz for treatment.”
It should be noted that last solar year, this charity foundation also established eye treatment camps in Kabul, Herat, Nangarhar, and some other provinces for eye-related illnesses.
