To conclude, maternal healthcare in Afghanistan has worsened since the collapse of the former government in August 2021. Restrictions on women's rights, coupled with funding cuts and shortages of medicines, have hindered healthcare access. Providers face challenges navigating Taliban rules while advocating for women's health. Urgent action is needed to prevent further setbacks in maternal health.
