WHO representative and Head of Mission in Iraq Dr Adham Ismail said: “WHO Iraq has built a fruitful partnership with the health authorities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, reflected in the construction and rehabilitation of health facilities in the region.

“The project that we are jointly inaugurating today for the resumption of full capacity functioning in Erbil will support a large segment of the in-need population for essential and specialised health care services.

“We also believe the facility will go a long way to filling the gap created by the designation of the majority of health facilities in the region to Covid-19 treatment.”

The restoration project was supported by funds from the US Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration.
