KABUL (PAN): As many as 63 Afghan children with orthopedic problems and burn injuries returned home after receiving treatment in Germany, an official said Sunday.
The children were sent to Germany six months ago for treatment with the costs paid by the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS) and the German Peace Village
The children have been reunited with their families, ARCS protocol officer, Haji Enayatullah Siddiqi, said.
All of the patients are children who for one reason or another could not be treated in Afghanistan and are selected by German doctors, he said. Their length of stay in Germany depended on their injuries, he said.
Zuhra, 12, a resident of Shiwaki in Kabul, and student in class 5 at Muhammad Zai School, was one who had just returned from Germany.
"I broke my hand two years ago and my father spent a lot of money trying to fix it, but it was unable to be treated. Finally I was able to be treated in Germany," she told Pajhwok Afghan News.
A large number of children with orthopedic problems and burn injuries had been sent to Germany with the help of ARCS and German Peace Village over the past 27 years.
However, children who have heart problems are sent to India.
