28 Children With Heart Defects Referred For Treatment To Kabul Hospitals
(MENAFN- Khaama Press) The Afghanistan Red Crescent Society has announced that it has referred 28 children with heart defects to hospitals in the capital for treatment.
The organization posted on its X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday, February 2, stating that it had directed 28 children suffering from heart defects to hospitals for surgery and treatment.
According to the announcement, the 28 children, diagnosed with heart defects, were referred to six hospitals in Kabul for medical care. The Red Crescent Society also clarified that the cost of the surgeries and treatments for these children would be covered by the organization.
Afghanistan is one of the countries with a high number of children suffering from heart defects. The Afghanistan Red Crescent Society stated that it is working to speed up the treatment process for these children.
While some health experts believe that the exact cause of heart defects in children has not yet been fully determined, improvements in medical facilities have made it possible to treat these children within the country. In the past, children with heart defects were often sent abroad for treatment. However, now Kabul and several provinces have the necessary facilities for their treatment.
Health experts still believe that the underlying causes of heart defects in children remain unclear. However, the progress in healthcare infrastructure in Afghanistan offers hope for addressing this critical issue more effectively within the country.
