Public Health Square

Public Health Square,[1] formerly called Massoud Circle, is a roundabout in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was named after Ahmad Shah Massoud during the presidency of Hamid Karzai.[2] It was recently changed back to its original name.[3]

The square is close to building of the former U.S. Embassy and has the road leading to Kabul International Airport.[4] It is located in the eastern part of Wazir Akbar Khan.
