DUSAHNBE, December 21, Asia-Plus - Merlin, international non-government British organization, will mark the tenth anniversary of its activity in Tajikistan on December 22.
Namik Geidarov, head of the Merlin CO in Tajikistan, said in an interview with Asia-Plus that Merlin has been working in Tajikistan since November 1996, providing assistance to the country’s Ministry of Health in controlling infectious diseases and cooperating with various organizations working in Tajikistan’s health sector.
