KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): Pregnancy-related and infant deaths have declined significantly in southeastern Khost province, thanks to a maternity hospital run by the Doctors without Border organization.
The maternity hospital in Khost City, the provincial capital, started functioning in March 2012, but the hospital suspended its activities for a short period due to some security problems and resumed functioning as result of efforts by local officials and tribal elders.
Safia, chief midwife at the hospital, said besides some Afghan female doctors, the hospital had employed a number of foreign maternity specialists.
