UNFPA Afghanistan 85d ago

On World Health Day 2026, UNFPA Afghanistan reaffirms its commitment to the global theme of Together for Health. Stand with Science. In a country facing one of the highest Maternal Mortality Ratio in the Asia-Pacific region, access to maternal and reproductive health services is a life-saving necessity. Science-led innovation is a powerful tool to advance reproductive health and reach those who are often left behind. Digital technologies are increasing healthcare access and quality in underserved communities. For instance, technology can empower frontline health workers, such as midwives, with reliable, evidence-based guidance to manage complications and provide essential maternal care. When women have access to equitable care, maternal deaths decline and communities thrive.
