The future of Afghan healthcare

from Medicine and Science from The BMJ · host The BMJ

The infrastructure of Afghanistan healthcare is under threat, as international agencies who run clinics withdraw from the country. At the same time, some of the healthcare workforce are leaving the country, while those who remain face the prospect of their wages drying up as the economy of the country collapses. But there remain people dedicated to providing healthcare, and in this podcast we hear from, Wais Mohammad Qarani, president of the Afghanistan Midwifery and Nurses Council, about what changes might be seen under the new regime, and what needs to be done to support care in the country.
