AAHP-UK Announces New Committee for 2025
•
From the AAHP-UK Team
In a significant step forward for improving healthcare access for children with thalassemia, AAHP-UK has confirmed that construction for a much-needed expansion of the thalassemia ward in Kabul will begin in January 2025. This development comes after the organisation’s latest monitoring visit in May 2024, during which representatives Hamid Kabir and Dr Wahab Ghani identified urgent requirements to enhance patient care.
Addressing Overcrowding and Safety Concerns
Currently, the existing ward is severely overcrowded, with 3-4 children often sharing a single bed during treatment sessions. This situation not only causes significant discomfort but also increases the risk of cross-infections among patients. Recognising these challenges, the new ward will provide additional space and ensure a safer, more dignified environment for the 1,253 children currently receiving treatment.
Plans and Preparations
The new thalassemia ward will be built adjacent to the existing facility on a designated site. Detailed architectural plans have already been finalised, and AAHP-UK has completed an extensive review of quotations from various construction companies to ensure quality and cost-effectiveness. With all due diligence nearing completion, the project is now ready to move into its construction phase.
For more information about our ongoing efforts and the overall scope of our work, please visit the Thalassemia Project page.
Funding Status
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of AAHP-UK’s supporters, $25,000 has already been raised to fund the construction. However, an additional $7,000 is still required to fully cover the project’s costs. Every donation plays a crucial role in ensuring the timely completion of this vital project.
