The work we do at AKHS, Tajikistan builds on this legacy and follows a similar appraoch where we partner closely with the Department of Health to make a measurable impact in the geographical area of Gorno-Badakshan, which has historically experienced the poorest health outcomes. Our focus in this effort has been to protect and promote the health status of the most vulnerable in Tajik society (i.e., women of reproductive age and children under five years of age). We are also working actively with the Government to shift the focus of the healthcare system from curative care provided in general and specialised hospitals to an emphasis on primary and family care supported by facility-based services.
