Kyrgyzstan sends doctors and supplies to Pamir region of Afghanistan

In a humanitarian effort ordered by President Sadyr Japarov, Kyrgyzstan has delivered critical medical, humanitarian, and veterinary aid to ethnic Kyrgyz communities living in the remote Pamir region of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province.

The aid mission, organized by the Kyrgyz Ministry of Labor, focused on supporting residents in this isolated high-altitude area, where access to basic health services is scarce.

A delegation from Kyrgyzstan personally delivered the supplies, which included essential medical and veterinary equipment, and conducted extensive on-site health services.

A team of Kyrgyz medical professionals — including cardiologists, dentists, and a gynecologist — examined over 765 people, among them 187 women and 207 children. Alongside treatment, the specialists provided training and consultations on infectious disease prevention and general health education, aiming to strengthen local health awareness.

Kyrgyz officials emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader commitment to the welfare of ethnic Kyrgyz populations abroad, particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach regions like the Afghan Pamirs.
