The Kabul Tribune (KT) — The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has built and inaugurated a fully equipped health center in a camp for earthquake-affected families in Kunar province in less than two months.

Tajuddin Owyuli, UNICEF’s representative in Afghanistan, said on Tuesday in a post on X that the center replaces previous temporary tents and now provides around 600 affected families with access to healthcare services.

The facility offers essential health services under one roof, including vaccinations, maternal and child healthcare, and nutrition services.

Owyuli emphasized that the construction of the center is part of UNICEF’s ongoing efforts to improve access to primary healthcare for vulnerable families in earthquake-affected areas in eastern Afghanistan.
