name: Aide Medicale Internationale
text: Aide MÃ©dicale Internationale is a humanitarian and apolitical public French association created in 1979. It works to restore the access to the care of the population excluded from any system of health. AMI trains staff of local health and rehabilitates many health centers.
  
  AMI intervenes with the most unprivileged population in 9 countries. Nowadays, we maintain 25 programs with the help of 60 expatriates on the ground, and more than 2000 local collaborators. These programs affect 2500 beneficiaries.
  
  Regarding Afghanistan, In 2005, total program expenses rose by 56% compared to 2004, from â‚¬2,325,000 to â‚¬3,632,000. The Afghan context, although still very unstable, calls for long-term reconstruction actions. In this respect, their programs are targetted at the aid dynamic which exists in the country: support and reinforcement of the health policy of the Afghan Ministry of Health, set up of minimal health services in isolated provinces, participation to the elaboration of health policies at central level. These activities mainly focus on the long term.
