Description
Hayatullah Takal, writing alone in 2026, warns of a fever risk amid Afghanistan's returnee crisis. Since late 2023, Iran and Pakistan have sent back more than five million Afghans. At the same time, aid-funded clinics are closing as money dries up.
The fever in question spreads in the border region and can cause bleeding, shock, and organ failure. Severe cases need intensive care, transfusions, and strict infection control for every staff role. Past data show hundreds of confirmed cases with about one in five dying. The author argues critical care readiness for this disease is being overlooked.
