Healthcare — cost and access — is critically lagging in Iraq due to the political turmoil that it has gone through in recent years. Desperate supply shortages facing hospitals, the disastrous effect that the lack of basic services like water and electricity have on hospitals are the most prominent immediate challenges that healthcare in Iraq is facing.
