The recent ban by the Taliban on women attending medical classes in Afghanistan sends shockwaves through an already fragile healthcare system. It restricts educational opportunities for women and girls, endangers lives through increased maternal mortality, and threatens the growth of essential healthcare professionals like nurses and midwives. Calls from the UN for the repeal of this directive highlight a collective urge for the restoration of basic human rights and a more robust healthcare framework in Afghanistan’s tumultuous landscape.
