Dr Ghulam Nadir, acting director of the hospital, says: “Here in Bamiyan around 8-10% of children are suffering severe malnutrition, but we cannot admit all of them because of a lack of space in our hospital.”
He says he needs three wards to deal with the malnutrition cases he is seeing, but he has just the one ward, so all but the most severe cases are turned away.
Bamiyan’s hospital gets no money from Afghanistan’s central government. It has to rely on aid agencies and the Aga Khan Foundation for funding.
