For some people, we are their only hope for medical care.
- Dr Ajmal
After the change in government in the country, many organisations left or had funding cut, which also impacted many health facilities.
For many families in Afghanistan, the fee for medical care is often unaffordable. Many of our patients even need to sell their possessions just to pay for a car ride to a facility that still functioning. Thanks to our independent funding from people like you, MSF can still provide free and quality medical assistance to the people in need in afghanistan.
Decades of conflict and instability have left Afghanistan's economy and infrastructure in ruins. Many afghans are dependent on humanitarian assistance and still struggle to access basic and emergency medical care due to insecurity, high costs, lack of transportation options and the fact that many health facilities lack the staff and equipment they need.
