Syed Rahman Qadari, Logar public health director, told Pajhwok Afghan News the building funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was constructed in one acre of land in Surkhab area in six months.

He said the building has 12 rooms, toilets, a car park, a drinking water system and boundary wall.

He urged the Ministry of Public Health to increase the number of health centers and female health workers in the district.
