Description :
86 children, mostly newborns, lie on 55 beds in the paediatrics ward, all suffering from malnutrition. Many of the other children are afflicted by polio and tuberculosis-meningitis. Though road access to Kandahar has improved, lack of education amongst mothers and the consequent failure to identify illness, poverty and underdervelopped young mothers are some of the causes of high infant mortality.
