One of the MICS 4 surveys, the Afghanistan 2010-2011 MICS is a nationally representative survey covering topics such as childhood illness, child care, and reproductive health.

Due to insecurity during the data collection period, 67 enumeration areas were not included. The survey included blood tests for anemia and anthropometry for both women and children.
