Additional Information / Shotlist MSF has been working in Khost city since 2012, running a maternity hospital where more than 1,100 women are helped to give birth safely each month.

The maternity was first opened in March 2012. In April 2012, barely six weeks after it opened, MSF had to suspend its activities after an explosion inside the compound itself. MSF took time to reassess the situation and to strengthen its network to ensure greater support from the community and all the political and religious leaders in the area. The hospital was reopened at the end of 2012.
