What are healthcare services like in Afghanistan?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Afghanistan. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Afghanistan are limited and largely concentrated in urban areas. Basic services such as primary healthcare, immunizations, and maternal and child care are often inaccessible or inadequate in many parts of the country, particularly in rural areas. Health care workers in Afghanistan face a number of security and accessibility hurdles, including dangerous road conditions, limited infrastructure, and lack of access to essential supplies such as medicines, vaccines, and equipment. In addition, many health staff have little or no training, leading to low-quality services and, in some cases, medical negligence. Despite these challenges, some medical organizations have begun to step in and provide assistance, such as with the establishment of mobile clinics that travel to remote areas," remarked another expat who made the move to Afghanistan.
