Access to care in Afghanistan: perspectives from afghan people in 10 province
Afghan people are facing major socio-economic barriers to care, as well as a healthcare system affected by chronic challenges and underinvestment. EMERGENCY and CRIMEDIM, a research centre from the Università del Piemonte Orientale, have released a new report that explores access to care across 10 Afghan provinces based on data and testimony from over 1,800 Afghans. The findings show the extreme difficulties for Afghans to access and afford care in the country, with more than one in every five respondents having lost at least one family member or friend in the last year due to the inaccessibility of care. The report concludes with 12 key recommendations on how to address the issues exposed.
