MSF blasts Taliban decision to ban women from medical education
EXCLUDING women from medical institutes threatens the future of healthcare in Afghanistan, Doctors without Borders (MSF) has warned.
Earlier this week, the Taliban announced that women in Afghanistan will be banned from training as nurses and midwives in another stage in the removal of women from public and professional life.
Previous bans have already curtailed access to other opportunities in education for women.
