Medical Clinic Project
The need
for medical services in Afghanistan has reached a crisis point.
Many people have to travel to India in order to obtain medical
treatment. The poverty rate is so high that most people cannot afford
the trip
and go without. ARYA would like to provide a clinic for the people
of the Kapisa province. This province was chosen because of the
availability of space for the clinic and also eventually for land
that could be donated by ARYA for the building of a ‘stand
alone’ clinic. This province is one most in need of help
because it constituted the front line of fighting between the
Opposition
forces and the Taliban and Communist regimes.
This project is
currently being formulated and a brief summary of the framework
of the project is as follows. The clinic would
start small with 1 or 2 Afghan
doctors being paid by ARYA and occupying space donated by ARYA. The clinic
would be stocked by applying to Medicos Sans Frontierres (Doctors
without Borders)
and Pharmacists without Borders.
We would eventually like to expand by building
a clinic on land donated by ARYA or the people of the province.
The construction would be paid for by
submission and acceptance of a grant to the World Food Program, Habitat
and UNICEF on
behalf
of ARYA and the people of the province.
