Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy head of the Taliban-led regime in Kabul, recently announced a complete import ban on Pakistani medicines into Afghanistan. Baradar, who is also responsible for economic affairs, decried the quality of Pakistani medicine as "poor," while giving Afghan importers three months to settle their debts with Pakistani companies and find new sources of supply. But finding new suppliers is easier said than done.
