Since the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, 3.5 to 4 million refugees have moved into Pakistan and Iran. Even before the war, the health status of the Afghans was extremely poor and the medical personnel limited. Various international efforts are attempting to cope with the health care needs of the refugees. Economic, language, and cultural problems hamper the projects. One clinic found the most common problems were of the gastrointestinal tract, then the respiratory tract, with a problem ranking similar to that of pre-war Afghanistan. Many of the health problems are linked to deficiencies in sanitation and nutrition.
自1979年苏联入侵阿富汗以来，已有350万至400万难民涌入巴基斯坦和伊朗。甚至在战争爆发前，阿富汗人的健康状况就极其糟糕，医疗人员也很有限。各种国际努力都在试图满足难民的医疗保健需求。经济、语言和文化问题阻碍了这些项目。一家诊所发现，最常见的问题是胃肠道问题，其次是呼吸道问题，其问题排名与战前的阿富汗类似。许多健康问题都与卫生和营养方面的不足有关。
