.@DrTedros and @WHOEMRO's Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari concluded their visit to Kabul. #Afghanistan’s health system is on the brink of collapse. Unless urgent action is taken, the country faces an imminent humanitarian catastrophe 👉 bit.ly/3nUKLee #StayAndDeliver 
@DrTedros @WHOEMRO @WHOAfghanistan @UN_News_Centre @UNNewsArabic The visit allowed @DrTedros and Dr Al-Mandhari to witness the immediate needs of the Afghan people firsthand and meet with stakeholders to define ways to urgently scale up our health response. bit.ly/3nUKLee #StayAndDeliver
@DrTedros @WHOEMRO @WHOAfghanistan @UN_News_Centre @UNNewsArabic Cuts in donor support to #Afghanistan’s health project Sehetmandi have left thousands of health facilities without funding for medical supplies & salaries for health staff. With reduced operations, health providers are forced to make hard decisions on who to save & who to let die
.@WHOEMRO Director Al Mandhari and I met with the Taliban leadership to discuss the current health situation in #Afghanistan and the needs of Afghan #healthworkers to prevent the health system from collapsing.
The acute challenges of #Afghanistan's health system are: lack of equipment, medicines and personnel; funds needed to continue the Sehatmandi programme and pay #healthworkers; and brain drain. All these are already causing deaths among Afghan people.
The pause in funding of the Sehatmandi programme has caused disruptions in access to healthcare, especially for mothers and children in rural areas. Over 2300 health facilities, funded through the programme, are at risk of closing or reducing services.
Happy to be in #Qatar 🇶🇦 together with @WHOEMRO Director today. We met with Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister @MOPHQatar, Khalifa Al-Kuwari, @qatar_fund Director, their teams and @MofaQatar_EN representatives, to discuss 🇶🇦's support for health in #Afghanistan.
We thank #Qatar 🇶🇦 for its generous support to the people of #Afghanistan through medical and aid supply flights, including @WHO's, and hosting evacuees. Impressive whole of government and whole of society approach to helping the Afghan people.
We visited #Qatar Housing Compound where Afghan people have been evacuated. The compound was built for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but has been repurposed now. Very glad that the local & international community has stepped up to donate food, clothes & other supplies to the compound.
