Clean Water Supply Project Completed for Kandahar COVID-19 Hospital

Health officials in Kandahar province have announced the completion of a clean water supply project for the provincial COVID-19 hospital and the local Immunization Management Department. The infrastructure initiative, valued at thirty thousand dollars, was officially handed over to provincial health authorities this week.

Dr. Jawad Hakimi, head of the Kandahar Provincial Health Directorate, provided details regarding the completed facilities. He confirmed that the project includes a sixty-meter-deep well, a forty-cubic-meter water storage tank, and a three-point-five-kilowatt solar power system designed to maintain uninterrupted water supply. The construction also incorporates a dedicated septic tank and three newly installed sanitation units within the hospital grounds.

Hakimi stated that financial support for the development was secured through FC-D and the Foundation. Alongside the primary hospital upgrades, the project delivered targeted improvements for the Immunization Management Department, which now operates with three additional toilets and a one-thousand-liter water tanker to support daily medical activities.

Provincial health authorities confirmed that the water and sanitation systems are now fully operational. Officials noted that the infrastructure is expected to enhance hygiene protocols, reduce waterborne health risks, and provide reliable utility access for healthcare workers and patients across the provincial capital’s medical network.
