French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children

To improve health care in Afghanistan, senior representatives from the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and World Health Organization (WHO) visited the French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children (FMIC) in September 2020. The tour of FMIC’s facilities included the Covid-19 treatment centre, which was put in place when Covid-19 was at its peak in the region. The building, which had been used for academic purposes, was converted to a Covid-19 treatment facility during the pandemic in order to ensure that the main hospital remained a safe haven for general patients.
