Last week, the World Health Organization also reported the delivery of 39 tons of medicines and medical supplies, including acute diarrhea treatment kits and blood collection kits, to health centers in five provinces of the country.

At the same time, several international humanitarian organizations have consistently expressed concerns about the shortage of medical supplies and a lack of funding to address these challenges.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) had previously stated that $279.7 million in funding is required for health assistance in Afghanistan.

According to this organization, it is estimated that around 14.3 million people across Afghanistan will need healthcare services this year.

However, the United Nations has consistently raised concerns about the worsening health situation in Afghanistan, especially in the country’s remote areas.

Despite international efforts to address the growing healthcare needs in Afghanistan, the situation remains critical, with insufficient resources to meet the demand. It is essential for the global community to continue supporting Afghanistan’s health sector to prevent further deterioration.

As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold, a coordinated response is needed to ensure that aid reaches the most vulnerable populations in the country, especially those in remote and underserved areas.
