Respected donor,
Your generous contribution is a ray of hope for many Afghans who have difficulties accessing a high quality healthcare facility mainly due to lack of money. FMIC makes sure that your contribution is spent in the most appropriate manner to support those patients who come from very weak financial backgrounds.
Since its establishment in 2006, FMIC has so far provided tertiary health services to over 1.5 million patients from all parts of Afghanistan in the form of admissions and clinical visits. In diagnostics, FMIC has performed almost 4.5 million laboratory tests and 0.8 million radiology procedures. Being the first ISO certified hospital in Afghanistan, awarded in 2009; we are now working towards getting the gold seal of Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCIA) for quality and patient safety. FMIC is the first hospital in Afghanistan to perform open and closed heart surgeries.
FMIC’s Patient Welfare Program is in place since the establishment of FMIC. The program is aimed at supporting those patients who do not have the wherewithal to bear their healthcare expense. FMIC has spent over $39 million so far in providing the medical and surgical care to those in critical need. We are highly grateful to the generosity of our donors for their support to the patient welfare which ultimately helps us serve the most deserving and deprived segments of the society.
On a daily basis, FMIC ensures that no patient leaves the hospital untreated because of lack of money. For many patients, even a $10 expense is an obstacle to healthcare. Envision a child or mother suffering from life-threatening diseases in an impoverished and war-affected zone. Imagine that just a few dollars contributed by you can help save lives and improve quality of life for many. For example, $10 will pay for an initial visit to a doctor, $15 will pay for one-night stay of a patient in general ward, $65 will pay for one night stay of a patient in the Intensive Care Unit. We do appreciate your continued support and cooperation!
