La Chaîne de l’Espoir in Iraq



La Chaîne de l’Espoir implements projects in Sinjar and Mosul and develops potential new ones in the whole country.
All programs are supported by the Iraqi Ministry of Health (MoH) and the French government through its Crisis and Support Center (CDCS) and Expertise.
The Madad Fund of the European Union supports the program in Sinjar for the equipment of the hospital.
Indeed, from 2020, the program aims to rebuild the health system, which was previously destroyed, and thus contribute to the reconstruction and stabilization of the different districts.
In this sense, the Sinjar French Medical Center (SFMC) is under construction to provide health care to men, women and children and will be able to provide outpatient consultations.
In Mosul, La Chaîne de l’Espoir is providing support and technical expertise for the reopening of the Mosul Research and Care Center (MRCC).
