Edwin Seniza Salvador, the World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Afghanistan, has said that cooperation and innovation can expand public access to healthcare services.
Speaking on Wednesday, October 14, on the occasion of the organization’s 73rd Regional Committee meeting, Salvador said shared commitments must be translated into practical action.
He said these actions could strengthen health equity and help create a healthier future for people across the region.
The WHO holds regional meetings annually to review health challenges and coordinate efforts among member states.
These meetings focus on improving access to healthcare, strengthening health systems, and reducing health inequalities.
Afghanistan also faces challenges including limited access to healthcare services, a shortage of medical facilities, and economic difficulties.
