Residents of Bala Murghab district in Badghis province are facing severe health crises due to a lack of medical centers and professional doctors. Many critically ill patients tragically die before ever reaching a hospital.
Locals report that rugged roads and long distances to the district center make transporting vulnerable patients, especially women and children, nearly impossible. One resident recounted witnessing the deaths of over twenty individuals due to these harsh conditions.
Afghanistan’s healthcare system has faced immense pressure and funding shortages since two thousand twenty-one. Hundreds of clinics have closed, and strict restrictions on female healthcare workers have drastically worsened the medical crisis in remote rural areas.
