According to the statement, these funds are designated for healthcare services aimed at treating non-communicable diseases, including cancer.

The EU also emphasized that this assistance will support mothers, children, and adolescents in Afghanistan’s remote areas.

The union described the health situation for pregnant women, newborns, and children in Afghanistan as dire, noting that mortality rates among these groups rank among the highest globally.

The statement also revealed that, on average, one mother dies every two hours due to preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.
