During its mission in Bamyan province, OCHA, the United Nations humanitarian aid coordination body, has inspected a midwifery health training centre.
This international humanitarian organisation has decided to support 80 women in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces to provide health services.
Meanwhile, women in Afghanistan are facing a shortage of sanitary materials and health services. Maintaining health care for Afghanistani women is very important, and more activities should be done in this field.
Since the Taliban came to power, female health workers are not allowed to work, and women are not allowed to go to the doctor without a mahram (a person with whom marriage is prohibited because of their close blood relationship, because of radaa’ah (breastfeeding), or because of being related by marriage).
