How is Afghanistan's health system faring amid the Taliban takeover?
To get a perspective, NPR spoke on Thursday with Filipe Ribeiro, the country representative for Doctors Without Borders, to find out where things stand for patients and health workers in the organization's hospitals and clinics across Afghanistan.
Ribeiro previously spoke to NPR two weeks ago when the Taliban and fighting was just moving into Afghan cities such as Lashkar Gah in southern Afghanistan. Hospitals where teams from Doctors Without Borders (also known as MSF) were working were then reporting a flood of civilian injuries.
Now the country is under a new regime — and hospitals are struggling with new challenges.
