'Top-notch' care eludes Afghan hospital

Dr. Naseem Rashid, wearing the white cap and mask, assists in removing a uterine tumor from a woman at Rabia Balkhi Hospital in August 2005. "There was no infection control. It was shocking the first day I entered the operating theater," she said. "You can't blame them. They had no money and nobody to help them." Rashid, who provided this photograph, taught as part of the U.S. training program at the hospital from July-September 2005 and again in March 2006. .
