Covid-19 has created many challenges for AIL staff and its program management. Our offices and health clinics are open and continuing to serve people. The clinics are providing their usual care including reproductive health care and health education activities. So far this year, 75,976 patient treatments have been given and there have been 60,353 health education attendees. Covid-19 cases are referred to government hospitals and disinfection/PPE kits and leaflets are being distributed to patients. AIL staff are using tailoring course equipment from Learning Centers to produce PPE (gowns, masks, face shields) which are distributed to AIL health clinics and donated to the government.
The AIL training department is unable to provide workshops but prior to lockdown Kabul did put on two health trainings. They held a Reproductive Health Workshop for 50 females and a Prevention of Coronavirus training for 50 participants (35 female, 15 male).
Lilemah, from the reproductive health training, had this to say, “I have three children. One of my children is very thin so we went to doctors several times. Unfortunately, he did not get better. I attended the RH workshop and learned about many topics including, the first thousand days of life, good and bad nutrition, women and children hygiene and healthy food. I realized that my child was suffering from malnutrition, after the workshop I plan to give healthy foods to my child to help him get better.”
Thank you for your support.
