Afghanistan is big
What's happening in Afghanistan?
Decades of conflict have ruined Afghanistan’s economy and infrastructure, and many people rely on humanitarian aid.
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides emergency, paediatric and maternal healthcare in Afghanistan, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.
In 2023, we continued to support Afghanistan’s struggling health system by providing specialised healthcare across the country. We also launched an emergency response after earthquakes hit Herat province.
