An integrated approach to sanitation and health in Kabul
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Mohammed A. SafiKabul is a major population centre faced with serious sanitation problems. Poor quality housing, severely limited
financial resources, the absence of sustainable management structures, the emigration of many educated people, and
the influx of internally displaced people all contribute to the problem. The high water table in some of the flatter
areas of the city, blocked and poorly constructed surface drainage systems and the absence of any co-ordinated waste collection and management system are other causes of the problem. Due to the recent civil war all economic and
social sectors including health services have been heavily damaged and the economic status of many people has been
dramatically affected.
