Afghan Ministry of Public Health

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Afghan Ministry of Public Health is an organ of the government of Afghanistan which deals with matters concerning the health of the population of Afghanistan. The body has large funds at its disposal with which it may train, educate and cure. Following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan the Ministry of Health, along with the World Health Organisation, reconstructed the health sector. At least 70%^[1] of the Afghan population was dependent on health services provided by the international community, at the time. Almost six million Afghans had none or very little access to medical care. In addition, 50 of the country's 330 districts had no health facilities whatsoever.
