WHO Has Built a Treatment Center in Kunduz

The World Health Organization has announced that, with financial support from the European Union, it has opened a 50-bed treatment center for communicable diseases in Kunduz.
The WHO Afghanistan office said today (Sunday, April 5) in a post on X that the facility will provide essential healthcare services to residents of northeastern Afghanistan. The organization added that the center is expected to serve more than 56,000 people during the current year, including over 10,000 children under the age of five.
According to the WHO, the new facility will strengthen healthcare capacity to detect and respond to disease outbreaks in Kunduz, Badakhshan, Baghlan, and Takhar.
This comes at a time when Afghanistan’s health sector continues to rely heavily on international assistance particularly from the WHO to deliver services. According to available data, the Taliban-run Ministry of Public Health currently provides healthcare services to only about three percent of the population.
