[00:00:10] received that from this gift 15.
[00:00:30] A specific part is not clear, but it is the result of the connection between health services,
[00:00:34] an effective healthy environment, and an active and
[00:00:37] healthy life. What has been done in the year 147 AH
[00:00:41] in this area, from the development of health and educational centers and services
[00:00:45] and thousands of health workers,
[00:00:47] to the diagnosis and treatment of millions of patients,
[00:00:51] monitoring the quality of medicines and food, protecting the
[00:00:55] environment and preparing the ground for sports activities, indicates
[00:00:58] continuous efforts.
[00:01:15] A family that benefits from a healthy environment, a child who is protected from
[00:01:19] malnutrition, and a youth who develops
[00:01:22] their talent in the sports field, each of them is
[00:01:26] part of the true meaning of advice and service to the people. On
[00:01:33] the other hand, the treatment of this process requires comprehensive cooperation from the
[00:01:36] people, government agencies, social institutions, and the media.
[00:01:40] The media, by providing accurate and responsible
[00:01:43] information, can convey the achievements, needs, and important
[00:01:46] health, environmental, and sports messages
[00:01:50] to the people in a modern way and play an active
[00:01:54] role in creating a culture of health and social
[00:04:30] The first part of the question is about the
[00:04:33] World Health Organization. It recently published a report
[00:04:36] and stated that 23 positive polio cases
[00:04:39] have been recorded in Afghanistan. If you can explain
[00:04:43] whether this is true or not. Secondly,
[00:04:45] Afghanistan,
[00:04:48] although it has a very small role in climate change,
[00:04:52] has suffered immense losses. Last year,
[00:04:55] and this year up to last year, we witnessed
[00:04:59] sudden floods caused by
[00:05:02] sudden rains.
[00:05:06] The World Bank, before the rule of the
[00:05:09] Islamic Emirate, had several projects underway
[00:05:13] in Afghanistan, and after the rule
[00:05:16] of the Islamic Emirate, those projects were stopped. Has the World Bank renewed
[00:05:20] its commitment and resumed these projects, because this is a very
[00:05:24] important and vital human issue,
[00:05:26] and the international community, the World Bank, and others should pay
[00:05:36] our health officials will confirm the polio
[00:05:39] figures, we may not have exact information. But
[00:05:43] in general, fighting polio is a difficult task.
[00:05:46] We have remote areas, we have inaccessible
[00:05:50] areas, and sometimes shortcomings in some
[00:05:54] areas may cause polio to still be seen in some people.
[00:05:58] But the fact that it has decreased to such an extent that
[00:06:01] out of 40 million people in the entire country,
[00:06:05] they have diagnosed 30 cases, this is an extraordinary
[00:06:08] achievement, and we hope that in the coming years, God willing, it will reach zero.
[00:06:47] do not link health assistance and cooperation with various humanitarian and human sectors to policies, because it is not a political issue, and we are in favor of
[00:06:51] cooperation. In any case, if cooperation takes place, it will be much better.
[00:06:55] If not, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will provide what it has
[00:06:59] to its people, and in the health sector,
[00:07:02] God willing, it will be more active. BBC
[00:07:06] Radio first Qatar,
[00:07:09] first Qatar.
[00:07:20] and agencies usually express
[00:07:24] concern about the reduction of
[00:07:27] international aid to health services,
[00:07:31] and they present various figures on the impact of
[00:07:35] this aid reduction. To what extent do you
[00:07:38] share this concern? Has the reduction in aid
[00:07:41] affected health services in Afghanistan or not?
[00:07:44] Thank you. First, as I mentioned earlier,
[00:07:48] the health issue is a human issue. We want this issue not
[00:07:51] to be tied to political issues, and cooperation should
[00:07:55] continue as before. Secondly,
[00:07:57] we are in contact with
[00:08:01] international organizations in this sector to have their cooperation
[00:08:05] in very important sectors. But if cooperation decreases
[00:08:09] on that side, God willing, the Emirate of Afghanistan will
[00:08:27] In the report, we also saw that most are under construction or completed, and
[00:08:30] 45 others are in the procurement stage. In the
[00:08:34] coming year, we hope to have a fully equipped
[00:08:37] 30-bed hospital in all districts, which is an extraordinary
[00:08:41] service.
[00:13:43] Most citizens complain that
[00:13:46] it has become very expensive. He
[00:13:54] is
[00:16:07] Radio Amad, Mr. Mujahid, the prices of diagnostic
[00:16:11] services in private hospitals vary. What plans does the Ministry of Public Health
[00:16:15] have to prevent and control this?
[00:16:19] Secondly, every year we witness that
[00:16:21] hundreds of students graduate from 15 faculties,
[00:16:25] but in terms of specialization, only 20, 30, or 40 positions
[00:16:29] are announced. How will the rest of the graduates get their specialization,
[00:16:32] and what plans does the government have
[00:17:47] Approximately, in the latest report
[00:17:51] of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),
[00:17:54] it is stated that 295 health centers
[00:17:58] have been closed, affecting about two million people.
[00:18:01] What plans does the government have, and why doesn't the
[00:18:05] government take responsibility for these closed
[00:18:08] hospitals to provide services
[00:18:15] action taken in Pakistan to encourage
[00:18:19] medical students or some medical fields to be expelled
[00:18:22] and to impose clear restrictions is regrettable and
[00:18:26] completely inhumane. We first
[00:18:30] demand that this issue be addressed. Secondly,
[00:18:33] in Afghanistan, God willing, the Ministry
[00:18:37] of Higher Education has full preparations for students who
[00:18:41] return to the country from wherever their education has reached,
[00:18:45] so that they can continue it and capacity is created for them.
[00:18:49] God willing, serious work is underway on this.
[00:18:51] Some institutions that were cooperating and had health centers,
[00:18:55] in our opinion, were probably closed because they lost their
[00:18:59] external cooperation or external funding, or
[00:19:03] those who were cooperating
[00:19:06] could not
[00:22:03] now, for the exhibition of
[00:22:07] industry and trade,
[00:22:10] they have signed a protocol with us. Also,
[00:22:13] Kyrgyzstan has taken 250 square
[00:22:17] meters, and our neighboring
[00:22:21] country, the Islamic Republic of Iran, has taken 1300
[00:22:24] square meters. Also, countries
[00:22:28] like Russia and
[00:22:31] India, Kazakhstan, and Turkey
[00:22:35] are also in talks with us, and they will
[00:22:38] also take a suitable place
[00:22:41] and
[00:22:44] sign a contract, and they will also participate
[00:22:48] in this exhibition. Finally,
[00:22:52] we invite all dear traders
[00:22:54] and all dear industrialists of the country
[00:22:56] to
[00:22:59] participate in this exhibition with whatever
[00:23:02] they have for the improvement
[00:23:05] and growth of the country's economy. And
[00:23:09] to all dear compatriots
[00:23:13] and dear guests
[00:23:16] who come from neighboring countries
[00:23:20] and from the region, to showcase
[00:23:24] their industry, their capabilities.
[00:23:27] And this exhibition will be an
[00:23:30] exemplary exhibition, and it is our
[00:23:33] dear country's right that we
[00:23:36] work wholeheartedly in this exhibition,
[00:23:40] whether it is the media,
[00:23:43] or whether it is ordinary people,
[00:23:46] because as long as
[00:23:49] we do not have a good
[00:23:52] economy, and we do not have good
[00:23:55] economic growth, we will not be self-sufficient, and as long as
[00:23:58] we are not self-sufficient,
[00:24:01] we cannot make any decisions for ourselves,
[00:24:05] and many years have proven to us
[00:24:08] that when we are not
[00:24:12] self-sufficient, we cannot make any decisions for ourselves.
[00:24:16] When we become economically self-sufficient, God willing,
[00:24:20] the country is ours, and it was ours, and it will be
[00:24:23] ours, and the decisions will be ours.
[00:25:48] is that for the first time
[00:25:50] that an exhibition was held at the Afghanistan International Exhibition Center,
[00:25:53] the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment had
[00:25:57] a very big and good
[00:25:59] achievement. What was their achievement?
[00:26:03] They were able to show
[00:26:06] all the national traders of our
[00:26:10] country and the products of our national country
[00:26:13] to the world, how much Afghanistan
[00:26:17] has achieved self-sufficiency and how
[00:26:19] much it can produce
[00:26:23] and what kind of products it has.
[00:26:25] And the world also understood that after the
[00:26:29] Afghanifa exhibition, which was organized by the Chambers of Commerce
[00:26:33] and Investment, many of our friendly
[00:26:36] countries became interested in Afghanistan after the exhibition
[00:26:39] to come and invest in Afghanistan
[00:26:43] and for our national traders to hold
[00:26:47] B2B meetings, which was a very
[00:26:50] good achievement. Praise be to Allah,
[00:26:54] after that, the Afghanistan International Exhibition Center
[00:26:57] was able to hold
[00:27:01] several exhibitions.
[00:27:03] Such as the Industry Exhibition, Technology
[00:27:07] Exhibition, and Construction Exhibition,
[00:27:10] which was a very
[00:27:14] good construction exhibition, good technology,
[00:27:17] Health Exhibition in which most
[00:27:20] countries of the region participated,
[00:27:24] such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan,
[00:27:27] India, Iran, and even Pakistan.
[00:27:30] Several countries participated. And our investment,
[00:27:33] even our compatriots did not know what products
[00:27:37] we have in Afghanistan and how many
[00:27:41] products we have. It was these exhibitions
[00:27:44] that made our compatriots realize that Afghanistan
[00:27:48] truly has a lot of products, and
[00:27:51] today, praise be to Allah,
[00:27:54] day by day, we can show
[00:27:57] the world that Afghanistan is moving
[00:28:01] towards self-sufficiency. Look, the Ministry
[00:28:04] of Public Health, which held the
[00:28:07] Health Exhibition, produces
[00:28:11] 1990 types of medicine in
[00:28:14] Afghanistan, which no one even knew about.
[00:28:18] No one in the country knew if our country produced medicines.
[00:28:21] All this is the blessing of these exhibitions,
[00:28:25] and today, this fifth
[00:28:29] exhibition organized by the Chambers
[00:28:33] of Commerce and Investment, this exhibition
[00:28:35] is truly a good achievement,
[00:28:38] and our esteemed managers
[00:28:41] and esteemed presidents of the Chambers of Commerce
[00:28:45] and Investment have managed it very well.
[00:28:48] They were able to invite various countries
[00:28:52] to this exhibition to come and see
[00:28:56] Afghanistan's products, buy Afghanistan's products,
[00:28:59] and have very good B2B
[00:29:03] meetings. And this exhibition
[00:29:06] of the Afghanistan Exhibition Center
[00:29:10] will surely show the world,
[00:29:13] with the cooperation of the Chambers of Commerce
[00:29:16] and our other collaborators,
[00:29:19] what kind of investment there is in Afghanistan,
[00:29:22] what kind of products there are. God willing,
[00:29:26] we have very good preparations for this
[00:29:29] fifth exhibition for them.
[00:30:03] One of the best exhibitions
[00:30:05] among the exhibitions that have been held
[00:30:08] will be this one, and you yourselves have
[00:30:12] seen what a good exhibition it will be
[00:30:15] and what a good
[00:30:34] time for our dear journalists to ask questions
[00:30:38] to the esteemed Ahmad
[00:30:41] Shakil Hazim, Deputy for Policy and
[00:30:44] Technical Affairs of the Executive Board of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce
[00:30:48] and Investment, and to provide more information
[00:30:52] regarding the preparations
[00:30:53] and answer the journalists' questions.
