2-Public Health

Medical services in Afghanistan were

badly affected due to decades of

fighting. To attend to the massive

and urgent medical needs, India rushed a

team of 13 doctors and paramedics to Kabul

in end-2001. Camps for fitting artificial limbs

were held in different parts of Afghanistan

throughout 2002.

Since then, five Indian Medical Missions (IMMs)

have been working in Kabul, Herat, Jalalabad,

Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif, attending and

disbursing medicines to 30,000 patients per

month. The five IMMs cater to the poorest

of the poor patients, many of whom come

for consultation and free medicines from the

contiguous provinces. Nearly 360,000 patients

are availing of these services annually.

India undertook the rehabilitation of the Indira

Gandhi Institute for Child Health (IGICH)

in Kabul, the largest paediatric hospital in

Afghanistan, and completed its new three-

storied Surgical Block in 2005. The Polyclinic

Block was completed in 2007. Now, the newly

constructed Diagnostic Block is being equipped

with diagnostic equipment, including CT scan

and MRI facilities. Capacity building of Afghan

doctors is a vital component of assistance and

batches of IGICH specialists train at the All

India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
 
India and IGCH

The only hospital for children in

Afghanistan.

Foundation stone laid by King Zahir Shah

and Vice President of India Dr. Zakir

Hussain in 1966.

Inaugurated in 1972 by King Zahir Shah.

Renamed as Indira Gandhi Institute of

Child Health in 1985.

Construction of Surgical Block and

Polyclinic began in 1989 but stopped in

1992 due to war.

India resumed renovation work in

November 2003. New Surgical blocks

and polyclinic functional.

India’s assistance includes new lifts, HT

stabiliser, EPBX system, incinerator for

solid medical waste disposal, etc.

The supply of equipment for the

Diagnostic Centre in the Polyclinic Block

is under process and a new Neo-Natal

and Maternity Care Unit is in the planning

stages.

As part of capacity building the training

of doctors and paramedics of the hospital

at the All India Institute of Medical

Sciences in New Delhi continues.
 
any pics of Indira Gandhi Institute for Child Health (IGICH)??
 
Under the Small Development Project Scheme, India has built basic health clinics in the border provinces of Badakshan, Balkh,

Kandahar, Khost, Kunar, Nangarhar, Nimroz, Nooristan, Paktia and Paktika.

In 2008, India provided the Afghan Ministry of Public Health ten ambulances, two each for use in Kabul and the regional hospitals

in Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif.

IGICH and the Malalai Hospital in Kabul are being linked with reputed Indian hospitals through a SAARC Telemedicine Project (this

will become operational by August 2009).

3-Road Construction

Zaranj-delaram highway: A new gateway

This 218 kms long highway provides connectivity to the

very end of South-western Afghanistan and Iran by linking

Zaranj to the Kandahar-Herat highway. It will also further

regional cooperation by encouraging new trade and transit

through the Iranian port of Chahbahar and provides a

supplementary and shorter access of Afghanistan to the

sea.The highway was inaugurated by President Hamid

Karzai and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on

22nd January 2009.

In addition to the highway, the Indian construction team

also built 58 kilometres of inner-city roads, 40 kms in

Zaranj, 10 kms in Gurguri and 8 kms connecting Gurguri

to Razai.

Since the main road was built on a new alignment, the

logistics involved, both in terms of men and materials,

was mammoth: 339 engineers and workers from India and

many more from Afghanistan were engaged in the project.

Yet, compared to the cost of other roads constructed in

Afghanistan, the total cost was modest: 150 million US

dollars, a tribute to the project management team.

Eleven Indians and 129 Afghans lost their lives during the

construction period. Of the 11 Indians, six were killed in

terrorist attacks and 5 died in accidents. The completion

of the road reflects the determination of both India

and Afghanistan that nothing can prevent or hinder

collaboration between our two countries.

 
@jarves,Sir any idea of the status of Iran-Afghanistan railway project?

Positive results of Zaranj Delaram Highway
The population of Zaranj town increased from 55,000 when the road construction began in 2004 to over 100,000 today.

Land values along the road have gone up.

Passenger traffic has picked up; now regular buses have begun to supplement taxis.

The journey from end-to-end, between Delaram and Zaranj, that used to take 12 to 14 hours, is completed in just over two

hours now.

Compared to an average of five truck or container load of goods coming through Zaranj, the average number today is over 50.

With trade volumes steadily going up, the customs revenue collection at Milak Bridge, Zaranj, is increasing every month.

@The Huskar A consortia of Hinduja ,RITES and IRCON were entrusted to build the 500 million dollar railway line howerever no work was done till 2011 due to sanction issues and pace of work was very slow from 2011 to 13/14.The proposed timeline of completion of project is 5 years so dont expect anything before 19/20.

We also train their army officers in our IMA afaik.

I met an Afghani 2 days back and he told me that his brother has opted for higher education in India.And that there're many like him.
He was genuinely happy when telling me about it and that made me so proud of my country.
