DUSHANBE, November 2, Asia-Plus — Children’s department of the Dushanbe burn-treatment facility has reopened after the major repairs.
Major repairs to the department were funded by the Tajik relief organization Sarparast, which provided some 160,000 somonis for this project.
“Premises of our department now meets all requirements,” said the department head Alisher Umarov, “All wards are provided with air conditioners, as well as new beds and furnishings.” Before that, the department’s wards and conveniences were in a poor state and did not meet sanitary norms.
The charity director general Mahmoudjon Murodov said that it had been not the first and not the last assistance to the burn-treatment facility. “We plan to provide all wards in the children’s department with TV sets and other appliances,” Murodov said.
Abumuslim Temourov, the head of the Dushanbe health directorate, who also attended the department-reopening ceremony today, told Asia-Plus that other departments of the burn-treatment facility are also on the waiting list for repair. “At present the children’s department is capable to receive some 60 children with burns of various degrees,” Temourov said.
