Indira Gandhi Children's hospital (IGICH) located in Kabul is a Children's hospital of Afghanistan.[2] It was founded in 1969 with funding from the government of India.[3] It was renamed in honor of Indira Gandhi in 1975. It has 400 beds, although the hospital sometimes has to assign more than one child per bed due to high demand.[4] In 2004, IGICH started the first cerebral palsy center in Afghanistan.[5][6][7] It also has an artificial limb center opened with help of Indian government which can fit up to 1000 people with jaipur feet.[8]
Some Indian physicians working at this hospital died in the February 2010 Kabul attack conducted by Taliban.[9]
