HeRAMS Afghanistan Baseline Report 2022: Communicable disease services
A comprehensive mapping of availability of essential services and barriers to their provision
Overview
The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS) aims to provide decision-makers and health stakeholders at large with vital and up-to-date information on the availability of essential health resources and services, help them identify gaps, and determine priorities for intervention.
HeRAMS has been deployed in Afghanistan since November 2021 and has allowed for the assessment of 2730 health facilities across the country. The analysis presented in this report was produced based on the data collected up to March 22nd, 2022 and while the deployment of HeRAMS, including data verification and validation, continues. Hence, this analysis is not final and is produced solely for the purposes of informing operations.
This is the fourth report of the HeRAMS Afghanistan Baseline Report 2022 series focusing on the availability of communicable disease services. It is a continuation of the first report on the operational status of the health system and should always be interpreted in conjunction with results presented in the first report. Additional reports are available covering essential general clinical and trauma care, child health and nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, and non-communicable disease and mental health services.
