The government of Pakistan has proposed to donate a kidney centre to Afghanistan to serve the poor and underprivileged Afghans, suffering from kidney diseases.

Incidents of kidney ailments are very high in Afghanistan and treatment facilities are not available. In such a scenario, this is a welcome proposal by the Pakistani government to help the neighbours.

The government of Pakistan has set up an Afghan trade and development cell in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish a kidney centre at Jalalabad, the Nishtar Kidney Centre. It would include the construction of the centre and rehabilitation facility, and training of doctors, paramedical staff and bio-medical engineers.

The government requested the SIUT for the training of an 18-member team of doctors, paramedical staff and bio-medical engineers. The SIUT agreed to train the team for six months at its own expense without charging the government as a gesture of good will to the poor people of Afghanistan.
