In my new position as National Coordinator for Health Programs with the Aga Khan Foundation in Afghanistan, I work on programs that help the most vulnerable in Afghanistan: mothers and children.
One of the Aga Khan Foundation’s main health aims is improving the infrastructure, delivery, and quality of healthcare in Afghan hospitals including Badakhshan Provincial Hospital in Faizabad, where I visited in late September.
