About Us

Established in 2011 by Afghan healthcare professionals in the UK, AAHP-UK is a volunteer-led charity dedicated to improving healthcare for Afghans. We work tirelessly to strengthen health systems, respond to crises, and support vital projects in Afghanistan and the UK.

Our Story

We are a group of Afghan healthcare professionals in the UK, and came together to set up this organisation in 2011 to improve the life of Afghan people. Since then, we have been devoted to use our knowledge and expertise to improve the public health system in Afghanistan and to address some of the health issues of the Afghan community both in Afghanistan and in the UK.

We are all volunteers and undertake this work outside our busy work hours, in the evenings, at weekends and during our holidays. It is the blessing that we have had the opportunity in life, which drives us to pay back to our homeland and to our community in the UK. AAHP-UK has enabled us to do this work.

Part of our work has been to raise funds for projects inside Afghanistan.

We have responded to natural disasters and war crisis in Afghanistan by delivering food packages and running medical camps to the affected population. We have also completed sanitation projects like construction wells for clean water in several deprived areas and financially supported 100s of cataracts operations to bring vision to people.
