This is survey's summary. It is still hot, only three months since publication, so it won't be implemented into World Bank statistics in a year. World Bank does much research, but not necessarily about public health.
Fertility has dropped sharply (2 children per women less), with 20% of women using modern contraceptives. 60% of women use antenatal care. For working-age males mortality dropped by half and is lower than in Pakistan.
Overall statistics are one step worse than in Pakistan, Nepal or Bangladesh, but this is tremendous improvement. I believe that Afghanistan has fastest improving HDI in history, so improvement in health are coupled with improvement in education or economy.
