Medical education is considered the backbone of future health systems. However, Afghanistan's medical education system is ill-equipped to deliver quality education in the medical training institutions. This article provides insights into existing challenges in the Afghan medical education system. These challenges include infrastructural constraints, substandard recruitment practices, poor learning environment, limited access to updated learning educational resources, shortage of skilled and qualified lecturers, inaccessibility to modern technology, and financial difficulties. This calls for strengthening the Afghan medical education system, highlighting the importance of creating a national policy framework to enhance education quality and ensure academic institutions' sustainability.
医学教育被视为未来卫生系统的支柱。然而，阿富汗的医学教育系统在医学培训机构提供高质量教育方面准备不足。本文深入探讨了阿富汗医学教育系统中存在的挑战。这些挑战包括基础设施限制、招聘标准不达标、学习环境差、获取最新学习教育资源的机会有限、缺乏熟练和合格的讲师、无法使用现代技术以及资金困难。这就需要加强阿富汗的医学教育系统，强调制定国家政策框架以提高教育质量并确保学术机构可持续性的重要性。
