The people of Afghanistan have been facing many problems, including in the health sector that raises more concerns more than any other time. Afghanistan, a war-torn nation, has been affected by war and the conflicts left many disabilities. More seriously, recent crisis has created more mental and psychosocial difficulties.

Lack of clean water, unstandardized toilets or latrines (one of main cause to have more communicable diseases), defection, unhealthy hygiene and sanitation practices, health inequity, inequality, and inaccessibility, malnutrition and communicable diseases are the reasons that we lose the life our children and afghan women. We work to overcome these problem and will through victory on those aforementioned issues we will; treat our children healthy that can learn more effectively, save the life of our children, men and women, develop mental health of our people, decrease disparities and risks of communicable diseases and eradicate injuries that cause human loss. Doing so will guide us toward more productivity, education, creativity, healthy Afghans, and dismantling the poverty and hunger crisis.
