The construction on an incomplete 100-bed hospital has resumed in Nimroz province, local officials confirmed Tuesday.

According to officials, the project was abandoned under the former government.

The Directorate of Public Health of Nimroz says that the work of this hospital has been resumed under the guidance of the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, and is worth $200,000. They said the hospital will be fully operational within the next two months.

Nimroz residents say that the construction of this hospital is one of the basic needs of the people of this province.

The hospital is in Zaranj, the center of Nimroz, and will fill a major gap in health facilities in the province. Work stopped on the hospital five years ago.

“This hospital has five blocks, two of which will be two storeys, and the other three blocks will be single storeys, which will be enough for the residents of Nimroz; and this hospital will have all the facilities,” said Abdulrahman Abdullah, head of Nimroz Public Health.

Officials said a private contractor was paid a large percentage of the cost to build the hospital but was unable to complete it. Now however, work has resumed to finish the hospital as soon as possible.

“Our work is going on in the molding department, and in the first block, we are working on creating a heating center, and in the second block, we are busy with stone work, and in the third block, our work is going on in the heating center and water and electricity systems. And the work will be finished as soon as possible,” said Ghafoor Rahimi, the project engineer.

Currently, there is only one provincial hospital in Zaranj city, which does not meet the needs of the people of this province.

“Patients should be transferred to the large hospital, because the current hospital is inside the market and there is traffic congestion and it can’t be addressed properly,” said Jamshid, a resident of Nimroz.

“We are very happy that the work of this hospital will be completed as soon as possible so our patients are treated, because it has good facilities,” said Farhad, another resident of Nimroz.

“There are not enough facilities in the current provincial hospital, so we would be happy if the work of the 100-bed hospital is finished soon so that it can be used,” said Enayatullah, another resident of Nimroz.

The civil war inflicted greater harm on the people of Afghanistan than the Soviet invasion, Fasihuddin Fitrat, Chief of the Army Staff of the Islamic Emirate, said on Monday

“The Soviet Red Army invasion did not make the Afghan people as miserable as the civil wars and power struggles made,” he said at a ceremony marking the 33rd anniversary of the mujahideen’s victory against the former Soviet-backed regime.

Fitrat warned that if someone is thinking of occupying Afghanistan using those who have fled the country, the Afghan people are ready to fight against them even if takes thousands of years.

“No matter how they impose war on the people of Afghanistan, the people have the courage and heroism,” he said. “Their honor will never allow them to be controlled by someone else. They will fight against them. They have fought for four and a half decades and are ready to fight for thousands more. If anyone thinks of occupying our country, they will fight against them.”

Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, Alhaji Mullah Noorullah Noori also stressed that Afghanistan will soon will compete with other countries in political, economic and security sectors.

“The day will come when Afghanistan will compete with the world’s major countries in every field, politically, economically, security,” he said.

Acting Minister of Information and Culture Khairullah Khairkhwa called on the officials of the Islamic Emirate to refrain from “power worship,” warning that it would lead to the collapse of the government.

“If, God forbid, we revive the past and there is power worship here again and we try to increase our influence, the regime will collapse and the people will become divided,” he said.

At the ceremony, the Chief of Staff of Army also stressed the dignified return of refugees from neighboring countries, adding that humiliating them is unacceptable for the Islamic Emirate.
