Afghanistan has the number five position in the world with regard to child mortality and ranks number two with regard to child mortality and ranks number two with regard to maternal death. Towards the end of 1994 Memisa agreed to assist IbnSina, an Afghan non-governmental organization which had been asked to rehabilitate basic health services in 4 regions via their existing immunization programme. After the withdrawal of the Russian army, the country is being torn apart by fighting bands of extremists. The rapid and successful rise of the Taliban, a movement of armed islamic fundamentalist students, puts severe restrictions on public life and on the rights of women, and makes it even more difficult to set up a health care system which is equally accessible to men and women. IbnSina-Memisa strives to revive health care in 4 regions and to cope with the logistic and cultural constraints which have to be faced.
