KABUL: President Muhammad Ashraf Ghani has sacked three deputy ministers of public health), his office announced on Thursday.

The three deputy ministers were dismissed late on Wednesday in compliance with a decree from Ghani, a statement from the Presidential Palace said.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Public Health spokesman Dr. Wahidullah Mayar confirmed the dismissals and said newly appointed deputy ministers would start working soon.

An official, who wished to go unnamed, told Pajhwok Dr. Wahid Majrooh, Dr. Bashir Noormal and Dr. Shafiq Shahim had been appointed as deputy ministers.
