Description
Margo van Gurp and colleagues published a 2024 study of healthcare choices in Afghanistan. Access improved after essential care packages began. Gaps by wealth and geography persisted. Care often costs families dearly out of pocket. The team analyzed a national health survey from 2018.
Facility quality data were linked to household answers. Rural poor residents sought treatment least often. Pregnancy needs pushed people toward public care. Chronic conditions pushed them away from it. Affordability shaped many decisions. The findings show where public services fail to compete. Policy can target the groups least likely to seek help.
