With support of Public Health Consultants (PHC) a consortium of Cordaid, Ibn Sina and AHDS is preparing projects that introduce and strengthen basic health care through integrated provincial and district planning. Maternal and child mortality rates in Afghanistan are among the highest in the world, therefore in delivering the basic health care package the consortium prioritises mother and child health care services.
