Public Health Ministry says Ambulances will help facilitate patients’ services.
The National Procurement Agency (NPA) has provided 125 ambulances to the Ministry of Health in Afghanistan.
These ambulances were purchased at a total cost of more than $6.5 million from Uzbekistan, NPA reports. “125 cars were bought from Uzbekistan for the price of $6,451,612,” said NPA head Abdul Rahim Rahimi.
These vehicles (Ambulances) will be provided to hospitals facing a shortage of cars to offer their medical services. “In this area, when people are sick, if they are sick at night or (extremely) in one day, or if the condition of the road is not good, or is that they can’t find a car, we do their job,” Rahimi said, according to Tolo News.

MoPH said that an agreement has been signed to purchase 180 vehicles and that 125 have reached Afghanistan.
