Grant Aid Gift Agreement Signed for Afghanistan: Collaboration with WHO to Help Strengthen Infectious Disease Response Capabilities in Core Hospitals | News & Media

Posted on 2024-01-182024-02-01 by Editor in Chief

On January 17, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a Grant Agreement (G/A) with the World Health Organization (WHO) for a grant of up to 1.032 billion yen for the “Capacity Building for Infectious Disease Response in Core Hospitals (WHO Collaboration)”. More than two years have passed since the political upheaval in August 2021, but Afghanistan remains in an unprecedented economic and humanitarian crisis, and support from the international community is essential. The signing ceremony

In Afghanistan, approximately 17.6 million people, or 40% of the population, are in need of healthcare support. Among various diseases, the number of deaths from infectious diseases is particularly high, with infectious diseases accounting for an outstandingly high 63% of deaths among children under five years of age, for example. The reason for the high number of deaths due to infectious diseases is the fragile health system, especially the lack of medical equipment and medicines in hospitals, which is an urgent issue.

This project aims to strengthen the diagnostic and treatment systems for infectious diseases in the target hospitals by providing equipment for diagnosing infectious diseases, medical tools and medicines, and technical support for medical personnel to the Afghan-Japan Hospital for Infectious Diseases (Afghan-Japan Hospital for Infectious Diseases) and the National Hospital for Infectious Diseases, which were constructed in 2013 with Japanese grant aid and play a central role in the response to infectious diseases in Afghanistan. The project aims to strengthen the diagnostic and treatment systems for infectious diseases at the target hospitals. This project also contributes to SDG Goal 3: Health and Welfare for All.

The details of the project are as follows
