Our cornerstone project, opened in 2009, includes a 100-bed hospital and ten community clinics. For over 10 years, AMOR’s Afshar Hospital has provided life-saving care and treatment to children and their families in Kabul, Afghanistan. Our model of care sets out to create significant and lasting change in under-served communities and areas of concentrated poverty. Each facet of our cornerstone project serves as the foundation for our sustainability.
Maternal and Neonatal Care In Afghanistan the maternal mortality rate is among the worst in the world due to complications during and following pregnancy without medical attention or guidance. Through AMOR’s Afshar Hospital, women are provided a clean and safe hospital environment staffed with OB-GYN specialists as well as ultrasounds, pre/postnatal care, and pregnancy clinics. In 2020, 4,094 babies were delivered at Afshar Hospital.
Preventative Care We provide our patients with health education for recovery and preventive care. Through our outreach and partnership with the World Diabetes Foundation, we have been able to increase diabetes awareness and health screenings throughout the country, so that early detection and intervention will prevent life-altering complications and death.
Health Education & COPE Clinics Education is the backbone of AMOR’s model of care. Girls and women that receive treatment, care and education through AMOR’s hospital, clinics, and health lessons, survive at a much higher rate than the rest of the population. Each day, 100 girls and women in our clinics learn the benefits of family planning, contraceptives, waiting to marry, seeking care by skilled professionals, and pre- and post-natal care. AMOR’s health educators give daily lessons on health and the importance of remaining in school.
Opportunity AMOR creates reliable income opportunities for all 185 Afghan employees, regardless of gender, tribe or religion at Afshar Hospital and our ten clinics. AMOR believes in providing opportunities to improve the quality of life for families and their communities.
