The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) in Afghanistan has issued a warning that the lack of adequate healthcare facilities is putting the lives of mothers, newborns, and patients at risk, leading to preventable deaths.<\/p>\n
According to a statement released by the organization, limited access to basic medical services poses a serious challenge to public health in the country. UN-Habitat stressed that the establishment of standard healthcare centers could save the lives of thousands in urgent need of medical care.<\/p>\n
In cooperation with both local and international partners, UN-Habitat is working to improve health infrastructure in selected areas. The goal of these efforts is to ensure that pregnant women, infants, and other patients can access life-saving medical services.<\/p>\n
More than two years after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, healthcare services in many provinces have deteriorated, plagued by resource shortages, a lack of skilled personnel, and insufficient infrastructure. Observers say the Taliban administration has yet to devise an effective strategy to protect the lives of citizens within the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
