Health officials in Herat province in western Afghanistan announced that the first consignment of Iranian oxygen arrived in Herat to solve the problem of oxygen shortage in the west of the country.

As reported, exports of liquid medical oxygen from Iran to Afghanistan will be continued and by importing oxygen from Iran, the problems of oxygen deficiency for Covid-19 patients will be overcome in Herat and western Afghan provinces.
