Officials from the Ministry of Public Health have reported an increase in seasonal diseases in the capital and said that nearly two million patients with respiratory problems have been registered with the ministry in the past three months.

Sharafat Zaman Amarkhil, spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health, said that medical facilities in remote parts of the country will be provided.

Amarkhil told TOLOnews: "In the past three months, based on the figures we have received, nearly two million of our fellow citizens have visited health centers due to coughing or respiratory system issues."

Some doctors have said that the seasonal diseases that spread among people include diarrhea in the summer and pneumonia in the winter, which often affect children.

Mohammad Arif Hassanzai, one of the doctors, said: "There are two categories of diseases in children that are very prevalent, and they are generally seasonal diseases. In the summer, diarrhea and its various types, and in the winter, pneumonia and its various forms."

Another doctor, Abdul Qudoos Shinwari, told TOLOnews: "Currently, digestive system seasonal diseases are prevalent because their time is almost over, but the main cause is often viral diarrhea."
Meanwhile, some caregivers told a TOLOnews reporter that their patients are facing health challenges in medical centers.

Malalai, one of the caregivers, said: "It’s been four days since we brought our child here. The child was sick at home for two days and did not get better, and the doctors are trying hard to treat the patients."

Air pollution, consumption of street food, and failure to observe hygiene measures are considered among the causes of various diseases in different seasons.
