The health status of women and children in Afghanistan has been gravely affected by long-term conflict, population movement, low socio-economic status, and a shortage of female health personnel. The infant and maternal mortality rates in Afghanistan remain amongst the highest in the world and the women and children of Afghanistan have a distinctly higher burden of illness and death.

While the women and children of Afghanistan are themselves resilient, cutting aid would have deep implications which would disproportionately impact women and children who are already facing grave challenges and barriers to access to health services. Let’s talk what we know and what we can do.

Join the ACTION Partnership on Thursday, October 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (EST), for a conversation on the impact of recent events in Afghanistan on women and girls, particularly their access to quality health care, as well as explore the role of global community, including institutions, organizations, and financing mechanisms, in ensuring health care in Afghanistan.
