Of these, only 10 were correct. In line with this, he called on Afghan doctors to not prescribe medication if they are unsure of their diagnosis.Mujadadi, who is of Afghan origin himself, said his reasons for train-ing the doctors was in the hope of reducing the maternal and child mortality rate in the country.“During this trip I taught the hospital doctors modern surgery and I worked with them and also brought some surgical equipment to the Jaghori district hospital,” Mujadadi said.He said unsafe traditions are the main reasons for maternal and child mortality especially as peo-ple take women to Mullahs and not to doctors.“Lots of traditional issues cause maternal and child mortality, most of the people take a preg-nant patient to the Mullah and the Mullah lashes them as they might have spirits in them, then often the [unborn] child and mother dies,” Mujadadi said.“In Jaghori when a boy is born they call the villagers together be-fore cutting the baby’s umbilical cord but this wait can lead to the child’s death,” Mujadadi said.Officials from the Shohada Foun-dation, that founded the hospital in Jaghori, praised Mujadadi for his work and said he has carried out 20 surgeries at their facility.Head of the foundation, Abdul Raouf Nawid said: “ The residents had lots of problems and when the doctor came, more than 400 patients came to visit him and the doctor also preformed 23 surger-ies and...(More on P4)..(18)
