KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): At least 120,000 drug addicts exist in southern Kandahar province, where the 100-bed rehabilitation facility is struggling with an increasing shortage of resources.
Sardar Wali Zeeshan, head of the addiction control branch at the Public Health Department, told Pajhwok Afghan News the 100-bed rehabilitation centre had inadequate facilities for the hospitalisation of addicts.
He said the centre had been short of medicines over the past six months in the wake of supporting organisations’ departure from Afghanistan.
“In the past 10 years, around 60,000 addicts were treated and helped to return to normal life . . .
