KABUL (Pajhwok): A pharmaceutical factory has been built at the cost of 30 million afs and commenced in the Sardar Gul Mohammad Khan Industrial Park in Lasghkargah, the capital of southern Helmand province.
Sayed Walli Jahani, the factory head, told Pajhwok Afghan News, the factory had been built in two years at a cost of 30 million afs in which four kinds of medicine would be produced.
He said raw materials needed in the factory are brought from the outside and after processing and packing they are dispatched to the 34 provinces of the country.
Ghulam Yahya Pashton, head of the Chamber of Commerce in Helmand, said the commencement of a pharmaceutical factory was a positive step and added the move would help prevent the import of below the standard medicine into the country.
He said: “After the takeover of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) government 109 new factories have been established in which hundreds of individuals have been provided with jobs.”
