Providing universal health coverage (UHC) in Afghanistan faces challenges due to the country’s geographic topography and gender dynamics. A significant number of primary healthcare facilities are unevenly distributed, leaving nearly 25% of the population underserved, particularly in rural areas. Women of childbearing age and children under five make up a large portion of this underserved demographic. The ongoing humanitarian crisis has exacerbated poverty and healthcare access, leading to heightened risks of disease and mortality. Innovative strategies and increased funding are essential to address these healthcare delivery issues effectively.
