India Unveils Major Health Infrastructure Mission for Afghanistan at UN Security Council

India has announced a major healthcare development initiative for Afghanistan at the UN Security Council, unveiling plans for a 30-bed hospital in Bagrami, an oncology centre and trauma centre in Kabul, and five maternal clinics across the country, reaffirming its longstanding humanitarian commitment to the Afghan people.

 

India has announced a sweeping new initiative to strengthen Afghanistan’s public health system, declaring plans for multiple medical facilities aimed at improving access to essential care in the country. The statement was delivered at the United Nations Security Council in New York by India’s representative, Parvathaneni Harish, who affirmed that New Delhi remains committed to supporting the Afghan people during a period of enduring humanitarian strain.

Harish detailed India’s upcoming projects, which include the construction of a 30-bed hospital in the Bagrami district, a dedicated oncology centre and a trauma treatment centre—both in Kabul—and five maternal health clinics to be established across various regions. According to him, these efforts represent India’s continued focus on addressing Afghanistan’s urgent medical needs while expanding long-term healthcare capacity.

He reiterated that India stands “steadfastly” with the Afghan population and will maintain its cooperation and humanitarian outreach despite the complex political and security environment. The announcement underscores India’s role as a longstanding development partner to Afghanistan and signals its intention to deepen its engagement through targeted health-sector investments.

The projects, once operational, are expected to enhance critical services ranging from emergency trauma care to cancer treatment and maternal health support. For Afghanistan—where healthcare access remains fragmented—India’s renewed commitment could play a vital role in strengthening community-level services and expanding lifesaving medical infrastructure.
