Afghan Medical Complex: A New Era in Cancer Care

The Afghan Medical Complex (AMC) is a groundbreaking initiative set to transform cancer care in Afghanistan. As the country's first dedicated oncology hospital, AMC is being developed to provide advanced, affordable, and accessible treatment for thousands of patients who currently face enormous barriers to care.

Inspired by real stories of suffering—like that of young Mahgula, who was forced to seek treatment abroad—AMC is rising from the ground up as a symbol of hope and healing. Strategically located on 22,000 square meters of secured land outside Kabul, the hospital will offer comprehensive services—from early detection to chemotherapy, surgery, palliative care, and patient education.

This bold vision is being realized through the leadership of the Atta Welfare Foundation (AWF) and the collaborative efforts of local and international experts in oncology, hospital planning, architecture, and healthcare delivery. Together, they are working to ensure that AMC meets global standards and serves as a model for sustainable, life-saving care in Afghanistan.

AMC is more than a hospital—it's a national promise. A promise to treat, to educate, and to save lives—right here at home.

Growing up in Afghanistan during challenging times, I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of inadequate healthcare, education, and basic services on communities. This experience became the driving force behind my commitment to creating meaningful change.

What began as a personal mission has evolved into a comprehensive nationwide initiative. Through the Atta Welfare Foundation, we have developed projects that provide essential services including clean water access, shelter, education programs, and dedicated support for widows and orphans.
