Format
Story Highlights:
The Tupchi Sub Health Center opened in 2002 in a poor district of Afghanistan s Bamyan Province. The clinic serves up to 1,800 patients a month, mainly children under five and women.
Government s reforms that began in 2013 under the SEHAT program have helped improve the quality of care in the clinic, and access to medicine as well as cleaner and safer facilities.
The SEHAT program worked to expand the scope, quality, and coverage of health services provided to the Afghan population, particularly vulnerable groups. The Sehatmandi project, which came into effect in 2018, is building on SEHAT’s work.
