The Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment has approved a plan to establish a specialised charity cancer hospital with an initial capacity of 100 beds.
The project is intended to provide better diagnosis and treatment facilities for cancer patients, particularly people from financially vulnerable families.
The hospital will initially have 100 beds, with the possibility of expanding its capacity in the future as needs grow.
Afghanistan has limited specialised cancer treatment facilities, forcing many patients to seek care abroad. The proposed hospital could form part of efforts to expand access to cancer diagnosis and treatment inside the country.
