Public health

What are the most pressing public health challenges facing Iraq today? Join Dr. Hussain Al Saffar and Prof. Salman Rawaaf for a critical analysis of the nation's public health landscape. The discussion highlights:
Progress made in vaccination, disease prevention, school health programs, and maternal care, although major public health challenges persist.
Key persistent issues, including environmental pollution, weak waste management, inadequate funding, and a limited public health workforce.
How cultural, educational, and systemic gaps hinder community health awareness and environmental responsibility.
The critical need for primary prevention, strong legislation, and better integration of public health into medical education.
Calls for political commitment, reliable data, and applied research to guide reforms and address issues like antimicrobial resistance.
This session is part of the first Iraqi Medical Congress in the United Kingdom, held within the second edition of the TAQAT program by the Iraqi Embassy in London.
