Increase in total aid to seven million euros

The World Health Organization office in Afghanistan announced that the European Union has provided an additional one million euros to strengthen health services in the country. Therefore, the total aid from the European Union in the health sector of Afghanistan will increase to seven million euros from March 2025.

Focus on emergency and life-saving services

According to WHO\’s announcement, this new financial aid allows the organization to expand emergency and life-saving health services throughout Afghanistan. These services include greater access to health care for marginalized communities, especially in rural and vulnerable areas, as well as providing assistance to returning migrants.

Continuation of humanitarian support from Europe

The European Union is considered one of the largest financial supporters of humanitarian programs in Afghanistan. Since the fall of the previous government, this organization has continued to work in collaboration with UN agencies in areas such as health, nutrition, water, and education. The main goal of this assistance is to alleviate the effects of the humanitarian crisis in a country where millions of its residents have limited access to basic services.

The role of the World Health Organization

The World Health Organization has emphasized that these resources will be used to expand mobile health centers, train local staff, and provide essential medical equipment. The organization has also stated that cooperation with the European Union will continue within the framework of sustainable development programs with the aim of strengthening Afghanistan\’s national health system.
