Other information:
Since 2001, the health sector of Afghanistan, with strong support from various donors and development partners, has made remarkable progress in improving the health status of the population. This is particularly in access, coverage, and quality of health services. These key achievements were made possible through improved and effective strategic, institutional, and operational performance of the relatively newly rebuilt health system.   From a dismal of 9 percent in 2002, by 2018, nearly 90 percent of the population had access to health services within a two-hour distance. The downward trends in infant, under-five, and maternal mortality demonstrate good improvement in health outcomes. Trends are also upward in antenatal coverage and institutional deliveries.  The project is aimed to enhance access (economic, physical and social) to basic RMNCH services and to reduce maternal and child mortality rates through establishment of FHH (Family Health Houses) in already selected white areas of Nangarhar and Kunduz provinces. A qualified FHH project officer is required to contribute in achieving the overall goal of the project in an effective and efficient way.
