The World Health Organization (WHO) in Afghanistan says it has provided treatment services to nearly 8,000 children suffering from acute malnutrition.
The organization said in a post on X on Monday, August 24, that every person, regardless of where they live, deserves access to quality health care.
The global health body said that with support from the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, it has been able to provide essential health services to more than 42,000 people in Afghanistan’s most vulnerable communities.
The WHO also said that the support has helped strengthen disease surveillance for early detection.
This comes as reports indicate that Afghanistan’s health system has faced widespread challenges since the Taliban returned to power in the country.
