The Taliban-run National Examination Authority has announced the launch of the new round of registration for the country’s national medical exit exam, but with no mention of allowing women to participate — once again excluding female medical graduates from professional qualification.

In a public notice, the authority said registration for the exam, administered by the Medical Council, began earlier this week and will remain open until May 30. The exit exam is a requirement for graduates of medicine and dentistry programs to obtain certification and begin practicing as licensed professionals.
