Japan helps vaccinate children in Afghanistan — UNICEF

Millions of people in Afghanistan are still in need of humanitarian assistance, and access to healthcare services remains a challenge for many families. Against this backdrop, Japan continues to support child vaccination and basic healthcare programs, including those aimed at polio prevention.

This was reported on October 26 by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

According to the organization, many Afghan families still face difficulties in accessing medical care, and more than 21 million people in the country may need humanitarian support.

UNICEF stressed the need to continue vaccination and expand children's access to medical services. The Fund also expressed gratitude to the government and people of Japan for their long-standing support of Afghan children.

As a reminder, the "Salomatlik" medical train, which has been helping residents of remote areas of Uzbekistan for 25 years, was previously sent to Afghanistan to provide medical assistance.
