Monthly Report April 2026 Amena Mobile Clinic (Kabul)

Monthly Project Report Amena Mobile Clinic Kabul for April 2026

During April 2026, the Amena Mobile Clinic continued delivering integrated primary healthcare services across selected communities in 20 communities in 8 districts of Kabul and Logar Provinces under the Emergency Health Project. The clinic provided essential healthcare support to internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and vulnerable host communities living in underserved urban and peri-urban areas with limited access to fixed health facilities. As seasonal conditions shifted from winter to spring, the clinic observed continued pressure from respiratory diseases, chronic illnesses, poor sanitation-related conditions, and psychosocial stress among vulnerable populations. Humanity, naturally, decided to celebrate warmer weather by exchanging winter pneumonia for gastrointestinal diseases. Efficient species. Throughout the reporting period, a total of 1,971 beneficiaries were registered, while 3,044 clinical disease cases were diagnosed and treated through mobile outreach services. Of the total patients’ clinical cases, 406 were belong to male and 2,635 were female, highlighting the continued importance of gender-sensitive healthcare services for women facing barriers to accessing medical care. Services reached 327 children and 2,714 adults across targeted communities. Disease trends reflected both seasonal transition and the difficult living conditions faced by displaced families. Respiratory illnesses remained among the most common conditions treated, including:

268 cases of cough and cold,
154 ENT infections, and
113 pneumonia cases

Gastrointestinal illnesses also remained significant, with:

41 acute watery diarrhea cases,
53 acute bloody diarrhea cases, and
94 gastrointestinal worm infections reported during the month.

Chronic and stress-related diseases continued to impose a substantial burden on affected communities. The clinic treated:

737 peptic disorder cases,
309 musculoskeletal conditions,
178 hypertension cases,
122 anemia cases, and 117 mental health disorder cases, reflecting the ongoing psychosocial stress associated with displacement, poverty, and prolonged instability. Additional services addressed urinary tract infections (93 cases), skin diseases (88 combined skin-related cases), micronutrient deficiencies (87 cases), and reproductive health conditions among women.

Maternal, newborn, and reproductive health services remained a key component of the intervention. During April 2026, the clinic delivered a total of 169 maternal health services, including antenatal care (ANC), postnatal care (PNC), and family planning support. Services included:

60 first ANC visits,
69 follow-up ANC consultations,
22 postnatal care consultations,
14 oral contraceptive consultations, and
4 injectable family planning services.

These interventions contributed to safer pregnancy monitoring, improved maternal health awareness, and strengthened access to reproductive healthcare services for vulnerable women. Preventive health education continued alongside clinical services through community awareness sessions focusing on personal hygiene, nutrition, safe water practices, communicable disease prevention, and seasonal health risks. These efforts supported early diagnosis, improved healthcare- seeking behavior, and reduced the risk of preventable illnesses among high-risk households.

The April 2026 results demonstrate the continued effectiveness of the Amena Mobile Clinic in adapting to evolving seasonal health challenges while maintaining essential healthcare services for displaced and underserved populations. Through integrated mobile outreach, maternal health interventions, disease management, and community engagement, the Afghanistan Green Crescent Organization (AGCO) continued strengthening community resilience and improving access to lifesaving healthcare services in a complex humanitarian environment.

Narrative

During April 2026, the Amena Mobile Clinic continued providing essential primary healthcare
services across targeted communities in 17 districts of Kabul Province, reaching internally displaced
persons (IDPs), returnees, and vulnerable host populations living in underserved urban and peri-
urban areas. As seasonal conditions shifted from winter to spring, communities continued facing
significant health risks linked to overcrowding, poor sanitation, economic hardship, and limited
access to healthcare facilities.
Throughout the reporting period, a total of 1,971 beneficiaries were registered, while 3,044 clinical
disease cases were diagnosed and treated through mobile outreach services, reflecting both high healthcare demand and the presence of multiple illnesses
among patients. Health services reached 327 children and 2,714
adults, ensuring broad and inclusive healthcare coverage
across different age groups. Female patients (2,635) continued
to represent the majority compared to male patients (406), highlighting the clinic’s important role in addressing barriers women face in accessing timely and culturally appropriate healthcare services.
Disease trends reflected the combined impact of seasonal transition and humanitarian vulnerability.
Respiratory illnesses remained among the leading causes of morbidity, including 268 cough and cold
cases, 154 ENT infections, and 113 pneumonia cases. Gastrointestinal diseases also remained
prevalent, with 41 acute watery diarrhea cases, 53 acute bloody diarrhea cases, and 94
gastrointestinal worm infections, indicating ongoing challenges related to water quality, hygiene,
and sanitation conditions in displacement-affected communities.
Chronic and stress-related illnesses continued to form a substantial portion of the caseload. The
clinic treated 737 peptic disorder cases, 309 musculoskeletal conditions, and 178 hypertension
cases, particularly among adults and elderly patients. Mental health consultations supported 117
patients, reflecting the persistent psychosocial burden associated with displacement, poverty,
unemployment, and prolonged uncertainty. Additional healthcare services addressed urinary tract
infections (93 cases), anemia (122 cases), micronutrient deficiencies (87 cases), and various skin and
reproductive health conditions affecting women and children.
Maternal, newborn, and reproductive health services remained a core component of service
delivery. During April 2026, the clinic provided 169 maternal health services, including antenatal and
postnatal care consultations as well as family planning support. These interventions strengthened
pregnancy monitoring, promoted safer motherhood practices, improved maternal nutrition
awareness, and increased access to reproductive healthcare services for women living in
underserved communities where formal maternal care remains limited.
Preventive health education continued to complement clinical service delivery through community
awareness sessions focusing on personal hygiene, nutrition, communicable disease prevention, safe
water practices, and seasonal health risks. These activities contributed to improved health-seeking
behavior, early diagnosis, and reduction of preventable disease complications among vulnerable
households. The April 2026 results demonstrate the continued effectiveness of the Amena Mobile Clinic in
adapting to evolving seasonal health challenges while maintaining high-impact healthcare delivery
for displaced and underserved populations. Through integrated mobile outreach services, maternal
health interventions, disease management, and community engagement, the Afghanistan Green
Crescent Organization (AGCO) continued strengthening community resilience and ensuring
continuity of essential healthcare services in a complex humanitarian environment. Humanity
remains distressingly fragile, but at least some people are still showing up every day to keep others
alive.

Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Services

Maternal and reproductive health services remained a key pillar of healthcare delivery during April
2026. Despite ongoing economic hardship, displacement, and limited access to secondary healthcare
facilities, the Amena Mobile Clinic continued providing essential maternal and newborn care services
to women living in vulnerable and underserved communities across Kabul Province. Human beings
keep bringing children into crisis settings with astonishing optimism, and somehow the mothers still
carry the heavier burden with extraordinary resilience.
During April 2026, the clinic provided a total of 214 maternal and newborn health services, including antenatal care (ANC), postnatal care (PNC), and family planning support. These services contributed to improved maternal health monitoring, safer pregnancy practices, and increased awareness regarding nutrition, breastfeeding, and birth spacing.

Services included:

161 antenatal care (ANC) consultations, including first and follow-up visits
31 postnatal care (PNC) consultations
22 family planning services, including oral contraceptive counseling and injectable methods

These interventions played an important role in early identification
of pregnancy-related complications, improving maternal nutrition awareness, and strengthening safe motherhood practices among women with limited access to fixed health facilities. Regular follow-up consultations also supported healthy newborn care and encouraged mothers to seek timely medical assistance when complications emerged.

Preventive Health and Community Engagement

Alongside clinical treatment, the Amena Mobile Clinic continued implementing preventive health education and community engagement activities throughout April 2026. As seasonal temperatures increased, awareness efforts focused on reducing the spread of communicable diseases and improving household-level health practices among displaced and underserved populations. Because apparently preventing disease is still more efficient than waiting until everyone is exhausted, febrile, and standing in a queue outside a clinic.

Key awareness topics included:

Personal and household hygiene practices
Nutrition and micronutrient awareness, particularly for women and children
Prevention of seasonal communicable diseases and respiratory infections
Safe water usage and sanitation practices
Maternal and child healthcare awareness

Through continuous engagement with patients, caregivers, community elders, and local volunteers, the clinic strengthened community trust and encouraged early healthcare-seeking behavior. Health education sessions also contributed to improved disease prevention practices, timely referral of complicated cases, and better understanding of maternal and child health needs within vulnerable
communities. These preventive and community-based interventions remained essential in reducing avoidable health complications and strengthening resilience among internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and underserved host populations across Kabul Province.
