ICRC emergency medical post for war-wounded in Mir Bachakot − The ICRC has focused over many years on improving long-term national and local capacity of major hospitals in Afghanistan, which has had a considerable positive impact on the quality of care available to the war-wounded, including trauma care for victims. It also provides strong training support through surgical seminars and by training Afghan Red Crescent community-based first aid (CBFA) volunteers. 10,000 of these volunteers bring first aid and health care to remote areas, including the 16 most war-affected provinces. The ICRC’s wide coverage through sub-delegations and ICRC offices allows it to react quickly to the needs of victims by providing war-wounded supplies where they are needed.
