Afghanistan would have been better at its own without destruction done by invaders of last 20 years.

Lets stop pointing fingers at everyone else. This hospital needs help. Care to make a donation? How about offering what medical help you can? Why not go there as a teacher and help the women to understand the need for proper care? Why not go to the Taliban and ask them for permission to teach their families the need for hygiene? If you can't go, then send someone. Support a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist, a janitor or anyone else.
