Iraq: The battle is over, but recovery takes years – MSF UK

Category: Iraq

Besides directly delivering medical care, MSF is also helping the citys health system to get back on its feet providing the required support to ensure it can cope with new emergencies.

In 2019, MSF rebuilt a hospital dedicated to the treatment of infectious disease in the east of Mosul, improving access to health services for the local community.

And, between March and December 2020, we supported the citys hospitals to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic when our teams temporarily transformed a post-operative care centre into an isolation and treatment centre for coronavirus patients.

During that time, we directly cared for almost 1,000 patients at the centre. We also ran an intensive care unit between November 2020 and April 2021, offering advanced care for critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Our activities in the city are evolving with the challenges, says Van der Woerdt.

And were trying to adapt to the best of our ability to the populations medical needs, guided solely by our medical ethics and neutral and impartial principles.
