IOC Makes
Critically Needed
Medicines

A variety of antibiotics and pharmaceuticals sponsored by International Orphan Care arrive safely to the Dogh Anad and Deh Sabz Medical Clinics in Kabul. The clinics serve as many as 60,000 patients annually with some coming as far as 30 miles for medical treatment.

Prenatal & Children's
Vitamin Drive

International Orphan Care is proud to be working with the fine individuals of Afghan Students Association West (ASA-West). Salomon Hossein and Sliman Nawabi, Presidents of the UC Los Angeles and UC Berkeley Afghan Clubs, will be facilitating IOC Vitamin Drives for students attending Afghanistan schools. Salomon managed the West Coast Clothing & School Supply Drive with One World Hunger gathering over 400 boxes of aid. Salomon states, "We must help the most vulnerable to find a chance for a better future. Let's bring a little light in their life and a smile on their face. Let's bring hope to the future leaders of Afghanistan." We could not agree with him more and want to do all we can to support the noble efforts of inspirational leaders such as Salomon and Sliman

Dr. Arturo Mendoza,

Dr. Arturo Mendoza, Medical Director for International Orphan Care and Director of Pathology at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women in San Diego, is shown examining tissue for malignancy at the Nangahar Medical University, second largest medical school in Afghanistan. During his stay in Afghanistan he was able to meet with Dr. Mohammad Azam Dadfar, Minister of Higher Education as well as visit blood banks and the pathology lab at Kabul Medical University. We are grateful for his research on Midwifery programs in Nangarhar Province as well as assessing the need for a generator, solar panels and internet connections at the Mir Mohammad Youssof Vocational School.
