SFMC Project

Located in the Nineveh governorate of northern Iraq, the town of Sinjar is home to a large Yezidi community, the victims of a genocide perpetrated by Daech from August 2014. This conflict led to the displacement of nearly 400,000 Yezidis, mainly to Iraqi Kurdistan, and the destruction of essential infrastructure, including healthcare facilities. The SFMC project is part of Nadia Murad's commitment, a victim of the Yezidi genocide and winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, to rebuild her region, notably through her foundation Nadia's Initiative. On October 25, 2018, following her meeting with the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, she was promised a project to help rebuild the local healthcare system. Against this backdrop, La Chaîne de l'Espoir signed a cooperation agreement with the Iraqi Ministry of Health for a project to build and equip the future Sinjar general hospital, called Sinjar French Medical Center (SFMC). The final owner of the project, the Ministry of Health, has made a plot of land available for the construction of the facility.
