Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Kuwaiti Red Crescent Society (KRCS) have concluded a response project to the emergency and health needs of vulnerable people in Afghanistan, under a bilateral agreement to alleviate the suffering of people most affected by the conflict in the country.
The purpose of the project was to improve the health and living conditions of 93,950 beneficiaries displaced by disaster and conflict. The USD 548,000 project was co-funded by QRCS and KRCS and implemented in cooperation with the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS).
As part of the project, 112 categories of medicines and medical supplies were provided for 17 primary health care centers and mental health hospitals, serving 13 provinces, in addition to providing food parcels and personal hygiene kits.
The project had a significant impact on the target communities, enhancing the resilience of displaced and affected families, improving their nutrition by providing them with vital food items, reducing morbidity rates through better hygiene, and backing health facilities for them to continue to provide medical services for patients.
