Expanding Quality Health Care - AKDN delivers health services to 5 million people every year, through over 200 health facilities, including 13 hospitals. One example is the French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children (FMIC) in Afghanistan, the country’s leading maternal and child hospital, which is managed by the Aga Khan University. In Afghanistan, with just two doctors for every 10,000 people, it is difficult for the country’s 30 million people to obtain timely access to quality health care. The FMIC is part of AKDN’s broader health system which provides quality primary and curative health care to over 1.6 million Afghans every year.
