No Doctors
Jurm District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan - The keeper of Jurm Hospital is standing in what will be the maternity ward. This two-floor hospital has been fully refurbished by WHO and UNFPA. The building has not been used for the last two years because, apparently, there are no doctors. According to UN data, Badakhshan has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. One in 15 women die during childbirth.
