The problem
Perhaps what makes this conflict more complex is not only are civilians caught in the crossfire, but there is also no air ambulance or effective ground ambulance service for victims, even within Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital city. Kabul has 22 districts and a population of 4.3 million, and yet, there are reportedly less than a dozen official governmental ambulances. As for poorer areas outside the nation’s capital, the number of ambulances are either nil or close to nil.
Road Traffic Accidents
Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) deaths is another big factor that claims many innocent lives. According to the latest WHO data published in 2018 Road Traffic Accidents Deaths in Afghanistan claimed 5,253 lives, deaths due to RTAs in Afghanistan is, on average, 15 persons per day. The age adjusted Death Rate is 17.68 per 100,000 of population. Afghanistan is ranked 90 in the world.

The solution
Human Relief Mission aims to tackle this and set up HRM’s AMWO Free Emergency Ambulance Service. This is the first of its kind in the history of Afghanistan, but also allows the public to take advantage of the ambulances in non-emergency transfers from home to hospitals; free of charge or at an affordable price (to regenerate the cost of fuel and driver salary). Our ambulances have taken part in many rescue missions and are continuously working with other local and regional partners to improve its services. We started with just two ambulances operating in only one province. We have now expanded to five provinces and aim to work in all provinces of Afghanistan. As of April 2022, HRM has 45 active ambulances. In 2021 alone we have served 33173 patients, an average of 92 patients per day. With your help we can increase the number of ambulances cover more provinces. Lets save lives together.
