IoS Appeal: No road, no privacy no place to give birth
The dirt road to Shotol twists perilously up the side of the Panjshir Valley, bringing nervous glances over precipices and heart-stopping encounters with oncoming trucks. Yet even though it replaced a crumbling track barely fit for mules, the road still bypasses the village's basic health clinic. "When we have an emergency, we have to carry the patient in a stretcher to the top of the hill, where an ambulance can pick them up," says a local health official.
