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.
Mobile Medical Midwifery
Together with our partners on the ground, Morning Star Development’s midwifery team delivered medical services to hundreds of displaced Afghans in the Khyber Pass region of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Many pregnant mothers were among the thousands who had been forcibly returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan.
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!
