Additional Context: This study conducted by ACAPS combined primary data collected in Baghlan-e-Jadid and Burka districts in Baghlan province of northeastern Afghanistan, with secondary data reviews of vulnerability assessments and analyses. This report is part of a series on vulnerability in Afghanistan in coordination with the Afghanistan Protection Cluster and its members.

As noted by ACAPS, health facilities throughout Afghanistan, including mobile clinics, have been significantly affected by U.S. funding cuts. Reduced spending on basic needs also includes deferring the cost of healthcare, with 17 of 30 interviewed households reporting that they delay medical care.
