Urban Health Initiative (UHI)

The purpose of Urban Health Initiative (UHI) is to improve public and private health services delivery in FIVE major urban cities through 1) Strengthening MoPH capacity and stewardship; 2) improving access to primary and secondary health care services; 3) improving quality of public and private health services; and 4) improving people awareness and health care behaviors.

UHI will be a new USAID activity in Afghanistan. This is a five-year technical assistance (TA) Activity with elements of service delivery that are necessary for filling gaps in access to, and quality of, essential health services in five urban cities. The Activity aims to improve health outcomes of people living in urban areas particularly focusing on the health of women and children and other vulnerable populations such as Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and communities living in slums.
