About Us

Our Vision

A Kosovo where every woman and child has equal access to quality healthcare

Our Mission

Our mission is to reduce infant mortality and improve health outcomes for women and children in Kosovo by educating and supporting patients, providing training for medical professionals, and giving equipment and supplies to public health institutions

Four Working Pillars

AMC’s work is based on four pillars:

Advocacy – Because every mother and child deserves equal access to quality healthcare
Education – To empower patients and support healthcare workers in providing patient-centered care
Philanthropy – To support AMC’s life-saving programs and provide medications and medical equipment for patients in need
Research – To identify gaps and inequities in healthcare and find ways to address them
