flag Afghanistan’s healthcare crisis worsens, with high maternal and infant death rates due to funding shortages, staff shortages, and collapsed aid.

flag Afghanistan remains one of the world’s most dangerous countries for mothers and newborns, with 521 neonatal deaths per 100,000 live births—among the highest globally. flag The UNFPA continues to support nearly 500 health centers and aims to deliver services to 4.5 million people in 2026, focusing on remote areas. flag However, severe funding shortfalls, lack of medical staff, and the collapse of U.S. aid have crippled healthcare access, leading to widespread closures of clinics, rising child malnutrition, and increased maternal and infant mortality. flag Despite ongoing efforts, humanitarian conditions remain dire, with famine-level food insecurity in seven provinces and limited international support.
