An Afghan doctor taking care of landmine victims
4/7/2005
KABUL: An Afghan doctor taking care of landmine victims at an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) orthopaedic centre here Wednesday. Gynaecologist Daud Shah says he can no longer afford any staff to work at Kandahar's Mirwais Hospital and so the medical treatment for women is now worse than under the Taliban. Foreign aid agencies have driven up wages, he says, US$800 a month for a local position at United Nations agencies compared with $50 for a nurse at a government hospital in the southern Afghan city. — AFP Photo
