Strengthening Health Services and Communities to Improve Lives of Women and Children in Afghanistan Koki Agarwal Director, USAID’s Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program Jhpiego

The story of Gulnaaz 2

Afghanistan in 2002  Country with the second highest maternal death ratio in the world—1,600 per 100,000 live births  There were only 467 midwives for a country with a population of 21 million  No health policies, guidelines and training for several years  No community engagement or ownership of health programs

The Response  Strengthened health system with USAID-funding  Supported Ministry of Health to set a new standard:  Revised and improved guidelines, policies and training  Built a community response to maternal deaths  Provided basic package of integrated services at the primary care level through NGOs  Increased significantly coverage of midwifery services across country and use of skilled attendants at births, from 8% to 19% in just four years 4

 Founded on the following principles:  Encouraging local ownership of health care delivery and an investment in country- led plans  Developing the ability of local NGOs, the Afghan Midwives Association and other Afghan organizations to deliver and support quality health care services The Health Services Support Project

 Building the capacity of the MoH to develop and implement policies and standards  Strengthening health care systems: trained health worker has skills, incentives, equipment to deliver the care people need  Women- and girl-centered approach to benefit families and communities The Health Services Support Project

Results: A Multiplier Effect Jhpiego assisted the Ministry of Public Health in adapting maternal and newborn health strategies for its use (community-based approaches, PPFP, Midwifery education, Quality Assurance Stds). The MoPH adopted these interventions as national standards and required their use by all donors and organizations working in maternal and newborn health across Afghanistan.

Midwife Frozan Ahmad June 2010  “ “ 8 “I remember women who have died in their homes because there has been no midwife to help them deliver their babies…. I really like being a midwife and being able to help women in my community.”
