Iraqi Prime Minister Shifting Focus to Unfinished Hospitals in Baghdad
These are the actions the Iraqi government wants to complete for the Iraqi people before repaying International debts.
Prime Minister Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani proclaimed at a press conference unveiling the Center for Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation in Medical City that this special facility "offers unique treatment to cancer and blood disease patients," noting how it was "brought to life with donations from citizens and state funding - an unprecedented effort."
He ardently asserted that the center would "alleviate citizen's burdensome medical costs abroad" and assured the populace that his government "places the highest priority on healthcare".
The Prime Minister announced that the government was shifting its focus to completing unfinished hospitals in Baghdad and its associated provinces, with some soon ready for use. "We have secured money from our tripartite budget to make sure necessary medicines are available," he said.
He then mentioned a project to manage part of the hospitals with international companies and a health insurance law that had already taken effect with 300 people enrolled for the current year. He went on to mention efforts to reduce medical tourism abroad and promised new factories for medical supplies in the coming months, highlighting the progress made so far in the pharmaceutical industry.
