In 2006, FMIC conducted the first pediatric cardiac surgery in Afghanistan. The patient was a 13-year-old girl named Elaha, whose family was charged $400 for the major operation.

FMIC is ISO 9001:2008 accredited, and was the first medical centre to receive this accreditation in 2009.

In 2012, construction at the FMIC began on a new 52 bed wing for obstetric and gynecologic care and a 14-bed neonatal intensive care unit - the first in Afghanistan. A ceremony marking the start of construction was attended by the Aga Khan IV, Karim Khalili, Afghanistan's Vice President, and Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs of France.
