A 2025 opinion paper in Seminars in Oncology Nursing, drawing on an environmental scan and the reflections of two senior nurses working in cancer services in Kabul, describes cancer nursing in a dire state: a collapsed economy, limited investment in health services, restrictions on women's education, and nurses wishing to migrate; it proposes actions to support cancer nursing. A 2024 paper on oncology nursing in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (Annals of Palliative Medicine) also lists the centre. OnCo read no website of the centre and no figure for its beds, staff or equipment; IAEA DIRAC lists no radiotherapy centre in Afghanistan. Coordinates are Nominatim's point for Jamhuriat Hospital.","asOf":"2026-11-11","links":[{"label":"Samadi et al., inequities affecting cancer nursing care in Afghanistan (Semin Oncol Nurs 2025)","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soncn.2025.151895"},{"label":"Oncology nursing in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (Ann Palliat Med 2024)","url":"https://doi.org/10.21037/apm-23-511"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["afghanistan-cancer-foundation"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Kabul","country":"AF","lat":34.526,"lng":69.169,"institutionType":"cancer-center","programs":["Cancer nursing","Cancer treatment (services not itemised in the sources read)"]},"route":"/institutions/jamhuriat-hospital-cancer-centre/","neighbours":{"institution":[{"id":"afghanistan-cancer-foundation","kind":"institution","name":"Afghanistan Cancer Foundation","route":"/institutions/afghanistan-cancer-foundation/"}]}}
