About HealthNet TPO

HealthNet TPO is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in the Netherlands, founded on the belief that everyone has the right to access affordable, high-quality health care. Established in 1992 by ‘Doctors Without Borders,’ the organization was created to bridge the gap between emergency assistance and long-term development. It emerged from the merger of HealthNet International (HNI) and the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO). HNI specializes in strengthening healthcare systems and addressing transmissible diseases, while TPO focuses on psychosocial and mental health support for individuals affected by war and natural disasters. HealthNet TPO Afghanistan is managed by a skilled team of Afghans, supported by experts from the organization’s headquarters in the Netherlands.

In Afghanistan, HealthNet TPO provides primary health care, mental health and psychosocial services, fights malaria, and enhances maternal and child health care through community midwife training and operational research. The organization is active in nearly 20 provinces, implementing major programs such as Health Emergency Response (HER) projects in three provinces, nutrition initiatives, mental health and psychosocial support, and malaria control, using a community system strengthening approach.

HealthNet TPO maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual exploitation, abuse, and child abuse. The organization takes all allegations regarding these issues very seriously involving its employees and related personnel.
