In 2025, La Chaîne de l’Espoir strengthened safe access to specialized healthcare for women and children while reinforcing national capacities in Afghanistan. Through the Mother and Children House at FMIC Kabul and a nationwide referral network, 2,427 children and 333 women accessed free specialized care, including life-saving surgeries, nutrition support and maternal health services. Complementary programmes addressed acute malnutrition, emergency response to earthquakes, and medical training for Afghan health professionals.
