The Department of Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice in Ghazni has announced to all hospitals and health centres that women without Mahram should not be treated.
This department has warned the officials of health centres in Ghazni province that no male doctor should examine a female patient, and no female doctor has the right to examine a male patient.
The Taliban have warned the doctors in Ghazni that if anyone disobeys this order, they will be treated badly.
The citizens of Ghazni complained about this decision of the Taliban and said that this action was against the standards of human rights and people’s freedoms.
They added that the imposition of medical restrictions on women who do not have a sharia mahram has created many problems.
