Through the Family Heath House programme, UNFPA and its partners have developed a long needed solution for women and their children in rural Afghanistan, where they far too often die in childbirth or suffer lifelong consequences of pregnancy-related complications. The FHHs have proven their efficiency and sustainability. When Afghanistan's health system faced collapse during the post August 2021 crisis, the FHHs were the only facilities that provided health services in the remote areas of the country.
