              • ​Helping returnees in Afghanistan

                Publication date:2025-11-20
                Through AMDA Afghanistan, AMDA has recently provided assistance to Afghan returnees who were repatriated from Pakistan and Iran, where they had been seeking refuge.
                 
                Ever since the Taliban overturned the government in August 2021, AMDA has been keeping an eye on Afghanistan’s humanitarian situation.
                 
                The political turmoil has led to an influx of Afghan refugees into neighboring countries such as Pakistan and Iran. However, many have been deported by their authorities in recent years, despite the present uncertainties back home.

                      Publication date:2025-11-04
                      In September 2025, AMDA Damak Hospital in Nepal launched CT scanning services after it introduced a Canon Aquilion Lightning 160 Slice CT Scanner. The hospital became the second medical facility equipped with a cutting-edge medical scanner in eastern Nepal, following B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), the largest hospital in the region with a 1,000-bed capacity. 
                       
                      Having been an NGO-run facility, AMDA Damak Hospital has been offering medical services at reasonable costs, even for those who are not well-off. Naturally, the hospital’s CT scanning services have been available 10-20 percent cheaper than other private medical facilities in the area, making them accessible for low- and middle-class patients.
