WHO scales up health response for returnees
WHO Representative Dr. Edwin Salvador led a technical mission to Herat to strengthen health services for returnees and deportees. The team engaged local authorities and partners, resulting in the deployment of a surge team and rapid delivery of emergency medical kits. "Where health needs are greatest, WHO stands with the people," affirmed Dr. Salvador
Key achievements
WHO strengthened health systems by supporting 109 primary facilities, an emergency trauma center, and two specialized hospitals as well as five mental health wards across multiple provinces. The organization further expanded drug dependence treatment to 17 centers in 13 provinces. This continuous care for vulnerable populations was achieved through essential service delivery, health worker training, and distribution of critical medical supplies.
