History and Biodata

Background and names:
President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai in a decree ordered three departments of the Afghan Ministry of Health to merge and be placed under the National Medicine & Health Products Regulatory Authority (NMHRA) so they report on their activities to the Administrative Office of the President (AOP).

Based on an official letter issued by the Independent Administrative Reform and Civil Service Commission (IARCSC), in the new structure of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) the department of policy should be dissolved and 14 more departments-- including the legal advisory board of the ministry--should be either dissolved, amended or merged with other entities.

Integrity Watch Afghanistan (IWA) said that the transfer of specialized affairs to the AOP will lead to the politicization of the executive issues.(20210402)
