Dr. Ahmad Jawed Karim and his driver hit an explosive as they were driving in Takhar provinc's Dahana Sangi district, the health ministry said in a statement.
In the south meanwhile, an international service member was killed in an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan.
Nato forces said the service member died Sunday but did not provide further detail.
