Local sources in Ghazni province have reported that the Taliban have issued an order to health centers in the province, instructing them to refuse treatment to individuals injured in motorcycle-related traffic accidents.
Reliable sources from Ghazni provincial hospital have confirmed to Hasht-e Subh that for the past week, dozens of motorcycle accident victims have been denied access to medical services at this health center, following a warning from the Taliban.
According to the sources, the injured individuals, along with their companions, are left waiting for hours, aimlessly wandering around, and eventually being forced to arrange costly transportation to their homes or neighboring provinces.
It appears that the Taliban issued this warning in response to a rise in traffic incidents in Ghazni. However, some healthcare workers view this action by the Taliban as a violation of public health regulations.
Despite the circumstances, the Taliban have not provided explanation for the rationale behind this directive.
Meanwhile, today (Monday, June 19), tragedy struck as three individuals lost their lives in Kunduz province following a collision between a motorcycle and a car.
