Japan and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) will give medical diagnostic equipment to the Indra Gandhi Child Hospital in Kabul amid ongoing efforts to train the staff and equip the centre.
Medical equipment to the cost of $53,000 will be given for medical treatment of children.
IOM director of migration management Irena Vojackove said the organisation will continue to support the hospital in building capacity of the doctors.
"IOM handed over the equipment funded by the Japanese government to the value of $53,000. It will help the hospital because in Afghanistan we have a high mortality rate of children and mothers so we hope this contribute to their health," Vojackove said.
Indra Gandhi chief Noorulhaq Yousafzai welcomed the assistance.
"The equipment is helping diagnose children's illnesses in our hospital. It includes a blood detection machine which to some extents will solve the problems," Yousafzai said.
The hospital officials added that the hospital faced a staff shortage and needs renovations and further construction.
