(ANSA) - Washington DC, May – "The way to transition to peace in Afghanistan lies in the ability of the country to deliver adequate health assistance to its population. From this point of view, the Italian NGO EMERGENCY could become a model for the new strategy in Afghanistan adopted by the Obama Administration."
At a press conference with foreign journalists in Washington, after meeting with Obama Administration officials, Sayed Mohammad Amin Fatimie, the Afghan Health Minister, stated. "I am a friend of EMERGENCY and well-aware of what Gino Strada [Executive Director and founder] has done for our country and, for this reason, say that EMERGENCY should become a model for all those who work on the ground in the health sector. The Afghan people very much appreciate what Gino Strada and his organization has done for our country. They are pragmatic and respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of the population. EMERGENCY can become a model in conjunction with the International Committee of the Red Cross".
