- Legenda: Kabul (Afghanistan), 18/12/2024.- Anisa Popal, an Afghan girl who has finished her medical degree from a private medical institute in Kabul, practices as a resident doctor at a private hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, 18 December 2024 (issued 02 January 2025). Anisa Popal, a determined young Afghan girl aspiring to become a doctor, faced a devastating setback when the Taliban imposed a ban on female medical education, leading to her dismissal from a private hospital where she was gaining practical experience. The Taliban's recent ban on midwifery and nursing studies in Afghanistan has significantly limited women's access to professional training and jeopardized their healthcare, as cultural norms forbid male doctors from treating them. With around 35,000 women studying medicine before the ban, the closure of these programs poses significant risks to women's health in a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates globally.
