About

Health services Afghanistan can trust.

We begin with the simplest question a patient should be able to answer: is this medicine what it claims to be?

The name

An authentic seal.

مهر اصیل

Mohr is a seal; aseel, authentic. A seal is the oldest mark of trust in our region’s written tradition: the stamp that says a document is genuine, and that someone stands behind it.

Every Mohr-e-Aseel service is meant to carry that meaning — an answer that is genuine, and an organisation that stands behind it.

Why we exist

Held back less by a lack of medicine than by a lack of certainty.

  • Is this medicine real?

    Packs arrive from many countries, in many languages. Few patients, and not every pharmacist, can tell.

  • Is this result right?

    Specialists are few, and fewer outside the cities. Records are on paper, scattered between clinics.

  • Can I understand it?

    Advice a patient cannot read or hear in their own language does not protect them.

Much of this can now be addressed with the tool people already carry — a phone — if the work is done carefully.
That is the work we have taken on.

Principles

The standard our work is held to.

Not aspirations. A service that cannot meet them is not ready to launch.

  1. Evidence before claims

    We say what a service can do only when we can show it. We cite others in full, and where evidence is missing we say so rather than fill the gap.

  2. Honest about uncertainty

    Every answer states its limits. A service that cannot decide says “cannot determine” rather than guess — a confident wrong answer about health does more harm than an honest uncertain one.

  3. Language is access

    Dari and Pashto come first, written and spoken. Not a translation afterthought.

  4. Built for the conditions that exist

    Ordinary phones, intermittent connections, the realities of Afghan pharmacies and clinics — not the hospital systems of wealthier countries.

  5. Human judgement where it matters

    Where a decision carries clinical weight, a qualified person makes it. Partaw’s reports are signed by licensed radiologists.

Where we begin.

Medicine authenticationIn development

Counterfeit-medicine scan

The pack is photographed — box, blister and leaflet — and examined for the visible evidence of falsification: print and packaging against genuine references, batch and expiry, registration marks, and the stated ingredient and strength. The result is given in Dari, Pashto or English, and says plainly when the evidence is not enough to decide.

RadiologyPartner service

Partaw

Clinics send the films they already have; a licensed radiologist reads each study and signs the report, which returns in Dari over WhatsApp. Machine assistance prepares the read; a named radiologist signs every report.

Bring the seal to your pharmacy or clinic.

We are looking for pharmacies, clinics and health organisations in Afghanistan to shape the scan before it launches.
