Technical Coordinator (medical technical supervisor)

About Rescue Mother and Child in Afghanistan

Welcome to the Rescue Mother and Child Afghanistan (RMCA) Foundation. Every two hours, a mother dies from preventable complications during pregnancy and childbirth. We help to re-equip and reopen health centers around Kabul and develop training programs focused on maternity care and early childhood care. Since December 8, one medical clinic has been opened in Wardak with a delivery room and five medical professionals. Women from the region can receive life-saving maternity care and perinatal care for mother and child in our clinic. In addition to maternity care from a midwife, the clinic offers medical care from a general practitioner, a vaccination program for children under 5, extra food for children with malnutrition, and a 'mental health' consultation hour. We employ three women and more than 100 patients visit the clinic every day. Our goal is to open more medical clinics to reach even more women and children. This is only possible with your help! With your structural donations we finance, among other things, medical personnel in Afghanistan and materials & medical supplies to keep the clinic running
