Afghanistan programs / MCHO
A household survey was conducted in 1990 in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, to study morbidity, mortality, sources of and expenditures on health care, disability, and maternal health. Three hundred and ten households were surveyed for which 98% were within 2 km of a health facility. Women in the childbearing age group were significantly more prone to illness than other age groups. Infectious diseases led the morbidity list; acute respiratory infection and acute diarrhea were high. Hospitals and clinics were the most frequently used source of medical care; private doctors and pharmacies were the most expensive source of care. Of the women who had delivered in the past year, only one-third had sought prenatal care. Of the children under five, 60% had had no supplemental food or fluids by 6 months. The report contains 12 tables and 19 figures of survey results. The study provided that household surveys can be conducted in Afghanistan by a project based in Pakistan, and that selected Basic Health Workers can be used as surveyors if properly trained and supervised.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
