Background:
Rahman Mina Hospital Kabul (RMH) in Kabul Head:
Dr. Faqir Mohammad Faqiri (2008-2014)
Dr. Mohammad Kamran Bashari (20160600, 20170222)
Dr. Syed Jan Hassan

The Rahman Mena Hospital is a state-run facility that is supposed to provide free health services to the people. Although three heads of the hospitals have been replaced in less than three years, but problems could not be resolved and people continued complaining of corruption and poor services.

Different sources say Dr. Faqir Mohammad Faqiri served as RMH director for seven years. He claims he had to resign due to growing corruption at the hospital.

The public health minister appointed Dr. Kamran Bashari as acting head of RMH after the resignation of Faqiri. Bashari remained head of RMH until June, 2016. After his resignation, Dr. Syed Jan Hassan was appointed to the slot in compliance with an appointment letter No. 143201.

A formal letter from the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) said following complaints from the local residents, Dr. Bashari had been replaced by Dr. Syed Jan Hassan to provide locals with health services in a more efficient manner.

But Dr. Bashari said via a fresh letter issued last month he was re-appointed as head of RMH. Some residents, through a formal letter, asked MoPH to reverse the appointment of Dr. Bashari, who was earlier involved in immoral and illegal activities.
