Afghan Women Continue Medical Studies in Scotland After Taliban Ban

Nineteen female students resume their education with support from the Linda Norgrove Foundation and UK authorities.

The students were forced to leave Afghanistan due to the Taliban's ban on women's education.
They travelled from Islamabad to Edinburgh after a complex visa process and logistical arrangements.
The Linda Norgrove Foundation, named after a Scottish aid worker, played a crucial role in their relocation.
Scottish and UK governments collaborated to ensure the students were treated as home students for tuition purposes.
The women expressed immense gratitude and hope to contribute to global healthcare.
