Afghan women's health

Afghan women's health has been significantly affected by socio-political challenges, including limited access to healthcare, cultural barriers, and ongoing conflicts. Women often face high maternal mortality rates due to inadequate prenatal care and lack of skilled birth attendants. Additionally, mental health issues are prevalent but largely unaddressed. The recent restrictions on women's rights have further hindered access to education and essential health services. Efforts by international organizations and local NGOs aim to improve health conditions by advocating for women's rights, providing healthcare, and enhancing education, yet many challenges remain amidst ongoing instability.
