India has sent 20 tonnes of vaccine materials to Afghanistan to support the country’s child immunisation programme. The shipment includes dry materials for BCG and Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccines. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said more consignments will be sent soon. He added that India remains committed to helping the “friendly people” of Afghanistan in the health sector. Earlier in April, India also delivered 13 tonnes of BCG vaccines and medical supplies to Afghanistan. India has regularly provided humanitarian aid to the country, including support for flood and earthquake-affected people.
