KABUL (Pajhwok): The United Nations on Tuesday reminded all parties to the conflict in Afghanistan of their obligation to respect the provision of healthcare, not to harm medical personnel and patients and to ensure that the protected status of medical facilities was respected.
In a statement the UN said in two incidents in the last week, access to healthcare was under attack, resulting in deaths and injuries.
“Medical facilities, medical personnel, and those who are receiving treatment, for disease or conflict-related injuries, must never be placed at risk, let alone subject to attack,” said . . .
