Doctors from Turkmenistan have started working in Afghanistan as part of humanitarian action
As part of humanitarian aid, three doctors from Turkmenistan arrived in the Afghan village of Turgundi, the website of the country's foreign ministry reports.
Turkmen specialists will provide medical and advisory assistance to Afghan women and children in a maternity hospital built by Turkmenistan in 2016.
The Afghan side warmly welcomed the Turkmen doctors who will stay in Afghanistan until the end of May.
Earlier, on May 3, the Consulate General of Turkmenistan in Afghanistan (Herat city) completed major repairs in the maternity hospital, and also provided its employees with the necessary medicines and medical supplies.
"Turkmenistan, based on the old neighborly traditions, continues to provide assistance to neighboring Afghanistan. This, in turn, serves for the benefit of the further development of traditionally friendly, fraternal and good—neighborly relations between the Turkmen and Afghan peoples," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan comments.
