The United Nations says more than 40 percent of Afghanistan's primary healthcare facilities are expected to close between 2025 and 2026. About 700 of the country's 1,900 health posts are affected, according to the UN, as reported by Voice of America on 9 November 2026. The closures would sharply reduce access to basic medical care across Afghanistan. The available report did not detail the funding reasons or the response planned by aid agencies or authorities.
