Last week, HealthNet TPO joined ZOA and 70+ organisations urging the Dutch government to act against USAID’s funding suspension.

Parliament has now adopted a motion to engage with the U.S. and explore ways to sustain life-saving aid. A crucial step—now we look forward to action.

HNTPO is deeply concerned about the suspension of U.S. foreign aid, forcing us to close 12 mother & child health centres in Afghanistan.

This decision risks thousands of women and children's lives.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We remain committed to those in need.

In light of the increasing spread of harmful content and the absence of meaningful action to address it, we have chosen to deactivate our former Twitter account. We will also be reviewing our presence on other platforms such as Meta to ensure they remain safe and aligned with our values.
