• Date of Mission: 22 July 2026
• Location: Nooristan Province (Districts: Mandol, Waygal, Doab, Nurgaram, and Paron)
• Purpose: Delivery of immediate humanitarian healthcare and nutrition assistance to communities affected by natural disasters and acute geographic isolation.
Following natural disaster occurrences and severe logistical barriers in eastern Afghanistan, the Organization for People's Health in Action (OPHA) dispatched an emergency assessment and medical response delegation to Nooristan province. Working in close coordination with provincial health authorities and national humanitarian cluster leads, OPHA took immediate operational responsibility for establishing and staffing essential health facilities.
Sub-Health Centers (HSCs) & Mobile Medical Units (MHNT)
To address severe gaps in primary clinical care, OPHA operationalized newly established Sub-Health Centers (HSCs) and Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) across five critical districts: Mandol, Waygal, Doab, Nurgaram, and the provincial center of Paron. These units provide continuous clinical screening, outpatient consultations, acute watery diarrhea triage, routine infant vaccinations, and maternal delivery assistance.
