The health officials of the German Peace Village have come to Afghanistan on Thursday to visit a number of sick children and say that they are going to transfer less than a hundred sick children to Germany this time.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Patients are selected and treated according to the conditions of Peace Village.
This is despite the fact that only twenty children out of 120 were selected on the first day of the examination of this group.
In the second round of their annual trip to Afghanistan, the health officials of the German Peace Village are going to transfer less than a hundred sick children who need surgery to Germany for treatment after examination and diagnosis.
German Peace Village accepts children for transfer and treatment who have severe burns, bone infections, or diseases related to urology or bladder.
Claudia, the press officer of the German Peace Village, told TOLO News: "It is important to say that we treat children who have infections or children who face some challenges after birth, such as the inability to move their arms and legs or lips." They have cysts, we select some children who have urological diseases.
He also added, "But sometimes there are different things that we have to see, like skin defects or something else, this is the treatment that we can choose in Germany, not heart patients." We know that many children have heart problems, but we do not have the capacity in Germany to take these children with us.
At least 500 children have gathered here and want to go to Germany for treatment, but the German Peace Village only treats children who have one of these three diseases.
On the other hand, the spokesperson of the Afghan Red Crescent says that the documents of a number of sick children will be transferred to Germany for examination and diagnosis by German experts.
Irfanullah Sharafzai, the spokesperson of the General Directorate of the Afghan Red Crescent, said: "The process of treating the patients has started and will continue for seven days. At this stage, nearly thousands of citizens are referred, and among them, patients who are qualified are selected."
Based on the statistics, the German Peace Village has treated more than four thousand sick Afghan children in Germany and returned them to their families since the beginning of its activities in Afghanistan in 1988.
