The inaccessibility and utilization of antenatal health-care services in Balkh Province of Afghanistan
More than 500000 maternal deaths occur worldwide every year of which a quarter to a third of all deaths is the result of pregnancy-related complications (WHO 2000). The regional variation in reproductive health outcome is also very wide as about 99 per cent of maternal deaths occur in developing countries. A woman living in Africa faces 200 times greater risk of dying from complications related to pregnancy than a woman living in an industrialized country (WHO 2000).
Drug industry in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is a male-dominated society. It is also a society where authority and power mean a lot. I think that the fact that I am a guest in their country a foreign woman representing the United Nations – a respected organization – works in my favour. Afghanistan is very different from my own home country Sweden but beyond the surface we are all surprisingly alike. Daily life in Kabul is not very comfortable; I lived in one room for more than a year before I found a small flat in a securitycleared compound. The security situation is very worrying and limits your personal life as well as the work of the United Nations. The suicide attack on a UN convoy in Kandahar province in the south of the country on 14 September which killed two WHO colleagues was a terrible blow to all of us. It is getting increasingly difficult and dangerous. Half of the country is at least partially out of reach for us because of lack of security. The costs of operations are going up because of the volatile situation.

Afghanistan Opium Survey 2023
Opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan plunged by an estimated 95 per cent following a drug ban imposed by the de facto authorities in April 2022 according to this new report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). UN officials noted that the near-total contraction of the opiate economy is expected to have far-reaching consequences and highlighted the urgent need for enhanced assistance for rural communities accompanied by alternative development support to build an opium-free future for the people of Afghanistan. Opium cultivation fell across all parts of the country from 233000 hectares to just 10800 hectares in 2023. The decrease has led to a corresponding 95 per cent drop in the supply of opium from 6200 tons in 2022 to just 333 tons in 2023.
Understanding Illegal Methamphetamine Manufacture in Afghanistan
The analysis in this report examines the modalities of illegal methamphetamine manufacture in Afghanistan highlighting risks to the region. The findings presented here contextualize illegal manufacture of methamphetamine with respect to quantify total methamphetamine production different input materials. The analysis contained in this report does not seek to evaluate or assess the effectiveness of counternarcotics measures in the country nor does it consider the effects of the April 2022 announcement of enforcement against the production trafficking and consumption of all illicit drugs in Afghanistan. The research shows that common cold medications and industrial-grade bulk precursors offer more efficient reliable and virtually limitless means to support illegal manufacture compared with naturally occurring sources of ephedrine.
