Medical Training & Services
Over the past 20 years, Afghanistan’s health care system has been heavily subsidized by foreign organizations. The majority of that support has disappeared. Morning Star has teams in multiple provinces. These teams address the health care needs of those in desperate need of services. This effort impacts thousands of Afghans annually.
Kabul Education University Health Clinic (KEUHC)
KEUHC provides basic medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and counseling services to the students and faculty on campus.
Morning Star medical staff partnered with another organization in the country to teach basic neonatal resuscitation and postpartum care.
Our doctor has also conducted basic life support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes to faculty members on the university campus.
Hygiene and Nutrition Training
Many children die each day from preventable causes. Morning Star has dedicated teams in rural areas that instruct families in basic hygiene and nutrition training where hospitals and clinics are unavailable, and food insecurity is highest.
Mothers and Babies
Morning Star Development aims to increase community health awareness of maternal & child health issues. This training, conducted out of local clinics in rural communities, aims to help men and women understand the principles of healthy pregnancy, safe delivery, and proper infant care. Training also teaches the indications that professional medical attention is necessary.
Continued Educational Training
Morning Star Development coordinates and conducts preventative and continuing education training workshops for medical professionals, university faculty, mothers, and medical students living and working in Afghanistan. Leveraging the medical expertise of our team, our partners, and our long history of medical initiatives in the country, we aim to help fill the gaps in medical education where needed.
Farzana visited a relative whose baby had been born at 7 months and she noticed that the baby was not only small but also clearly unwell. She unwrapped the baby and asked what they had put on the cord? It was dirt from the mud wall, which they assumed would help dry it out. Applying what she’d learned in BLiSS, Farzana asked for some antiseptic ointment, washed the cord, and applied it. On her next visit the baby was healthy, and everybody was happy and relieved!
