Prepared By: Dr. Moayad Abdullah Wahab Dr. Mazin Yousif Petros Kurdistan Regional Government - Iraq Ministry of Health Directorate of Health - Erbil Planning Department Prepared by: Dr. Moayad Abdullah Wahab Dr. Mazin Yousif Petros Fourth Edition August, 2011 Introduction Dear Reader The Fourth Edition of this Package of health information provides data as of August 2011. The first edition of this Package of health information published on 2001 and the third edition on 2009. This package includes data and formal name of Health Facilities, health directorates, primary health centers, hospitals & specialized medical centers in Erbil governorate based on administrative structure. Furthermore, it includes information on the type of health services provided in the hospitals, primary health centers and the distance of these facilities from the main building of directorate of health of Erbil which is located in the center of Erbil city. In the second edition of this package the location of all health facilities are placed on a map (satellite image map) which you can get access on our website (www.dohhawler.org ) .I hope in the near future we could update this map through locating of the new health facilities which were built during the last two years on the map. Periodical issuing of this package has been discussed with all relevant departments in the directorate of health and there is a consensus to be updated every two years. Ultimately I would like to extend my gratitude & thanks to all participants who prepared this package of valuable health information. There is no doubt every wish and dream cannot be reached without work & there is no work without shortages. We will appreciate any suggestions for developing and overcoming the shortage or lack of necessary information through sending it to [email protected] . Many thanks, Dr. Khalid Ali Abdullah Director General Directorate of Health of Erbil August 2011 1 Contents SN Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Districts and Sub districts of Erbil governorate 3 Summary table for Health Facilities 3 5 (Based onadministration structure) 4 Hospitals of Erbil health directorate 6 5 Health Facilities insideErbil city 8 6 Health Facilities ofDirectorate of Health of Erbil periphery 9-10 7 Health Facilities of Directorate of Health of Shaqlawa 11 8 Health Facilities ofDirectorate of Health of Soran 12 9 Health Facilities ofDirectorate of Health of Barzan 13 10 Health Facilities ofDirectorate of Health of Choman 14 11 Health Facilities of Makhmour Health Sector 15 12 Summary table of Health services performed in Health Facilities 17 13 Health servicesinside Erbil city 19 14 Health servicesin Erbil periphery 20-21 15 Health services inShaqlawa 22-23 16 Health services inSoran 24-25 17 Health services inBarzan 26 18 Health services in Choman 27 19 Health services in Makhmour 28 20 Specialized MedicalCenters 30 21 On call Clinics & Public Clinics 31-32 Traditional Birth Attendants(TBA) School ,Nurse Schools, Family Planning Centers, Satellite Emergency Centers, Labor Theatre in 33-34 22 Health Centers, Medical Committees 23 Summary table for patient beds in all hospitals 36 24 Patientbeds in hospitals inside Erbil city 37 25 Patientbeds in hospitals outside Erbil city 38 Districts and sub districts of Erbil governorate SN District SN SN Sub district 1 1 Ainkawa 1 Nawandi Hawler 2 2 Bahirka 3 3 Shamamik 1 4 Kasnazan 2 Dashti Hawler 2 5 Daratu 3 6 Qushtapa 1 7 Gwer 3 Makhmour 2 8 Kandinawa(Dibaga) 3 9 Qaraaj 1 10 Rizgari 4 Khabat 2 11 Darashakran 3 12 KawirGosik 1 13 Shorish 2 14 Taqtaq 5 Koya 3 15 Ashtee 4 16 Segrtkan 5 17 Saktan 1 18 Salahaddin 2 19 Harir 3 20 Hiran 6 Shaqlawa 4 21 Basirma 5 22 Zyarat 6 23 Balisan 1 24 Khalifan 7 Soran 2 25 Diana 3 26 Sidakan 8 Rawanduz 1 27 Warte 1 28 Galala 2 29 HajiOmaran 9 Choman 3 30 Qasre 4 31 Smelan 1 32 Barzan 2 33 Sherwan Mazin 10 Mergasor 3 34 Piran 4 35 Mazne 5 36 Goratu 3 Summary of Health facilities and their types based on administrative structure Summary table for Health Facilities (Based on administration structure) r s 1 6 3 2 4 5 Center Hospital Directorate of SN Hospital Hospital Health school Emergency Cente Emergency Public Public Public clinic On call On clinic call Public Training Training Centers Traditional Birth Traditional Private Private Hospitals No. No. of Population Teaching rimary rimary Health Total Total P attendance (TBA) & Nurse Nurse & (TBA) attendance Specialized Medical center Specialized Medical Satellite Satellite 1 Inside Erbil city 5 5 10 8 27 11 4 11 1 1 691.948 2 Erbil periphery 0 0 0 0 60 1 8 1 0 0 454.504 3 Shaqlawa 0 3 3 0 36 0 0 0 0 0 120.250 3 4 Soran 0 4 4 0 38 2 1 2 0 0 163.664 5 Barzan 0 1 1 0 29 0 2 1 0 1 49.523 6 Choman 0 1 1 0 13 0 2 0 0 0 33.561 7 Makhmour 0 0 0 0 8 1 1 0 0 0 160.000 Total 5 14 19 8 211 15 18 15 1 2 1.673.450 * No. of population per each PHC 7931 * No. of population per each Hospital 88076 * bed per 10000 population 15.73 1 These are teaching Hospitals owned by Directorate of Health. 2 Non teaching (Public) Hospitals owned by Directorate of Health. 3 Only licensed Hospitals. 4-5 These clinics providing services in the same health facility building. 6 (W.F.P) is the source of population No. 5 Erbil Health Directorate Hospitals A- Teaching Hospitals S.N Name of Hospital 1 Rizgari Teaching Hospital 2 Erbil Teaching Hospital 3 Obstetrics & Gynecological Teaching hospital 4 Raparin Paediatrics Teaching Hospital 5 Surgical Specialty Teaching Hospital B- Hospitals Inside Erbil city S.N Name of Hospital 1 Erbil Central Emergency Hospital 2 Erbil Western Emergency Hospital 3 Erbil Eastern Emergency Hospital 4 Emergency Hospital 5 Nanakaly hospital for Hematological diseases C- Hospitals Outside Erbil City S.N Name of Hospital Name of Health Directorate 1 ShaqlawaHospital 2 ShahidMulazim Kareem Hospital Shaqlawa 3 HarirHospital 4 SoranHospital 5 Soran Maternity and Paediatrics Hospital 6 RawanduzHospital Soran 7 KhalifanHospital 8 Mergasor Hospital Barzan 9 Choman Hospital Choman 6 Health Facilities based on Administrative Structure 1.

Surveys in the Kurd- istan region of northeastern Iraq from 2007 to 2012 resulted in the discovery of N. microspilotus at seven new localities distributed in the Zagros Mountain of Sulaymaniya Province. The new locations provide a major range extension of N. microspilotus. In addition, four new localities of N. crocatus were located between 2007 and 2013. In addition to Neurergus newt surveys, interviews with local people were also conducted through the use of photographs. Severe drought during recent years as well as anthropogenic habitat destruction and pollution have been considered as main threats to the survival of both species in northern Iraq.

  • Iom Emergency Needs Assessments Post February 2006 Displacement in Iraq 1 January 2009 Monthly Report
    IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS POST FEBRUARY 2006 DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ 1 JANUARY 2009 MONTHLY REPORT Following the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra Al-Askari Mosque, escalating sectarian violence in Iraq caused massive displacement, both internal and to locations abroad. In coordination with the Iraqi government’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), IOM continues to assess Iraqi displacement through a network of partners and monitors on the ground. Most displacement over the past five years (since 2003) occurred in 2006 and has since slowed. However, displacement continues to occur in some locations and the humanitarian situation of those already displaced is worsening. Some Iraqis are returning, but their conditions in places of return are extremely difficult. The estimated number of displaced since February 2006 is more than 1.6 million individuals1. SUMMARY OF CURRENT IRAQI DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN: Returns While an estimated 1.6 million individuals are displaced in Iraq, returns continue to grow. This is particularly the case in Baghdad. Many returnees are coming back to find destroyed homes and infrastructure in disrepair. Buildings, pipe and electrical networks, and basic public services such as health care centers are all in need of rehabilitation to meet the needs of returning IDP and refugee families. Transportation for families who wish to return also continues to be an issue. Some families wish to return but do not have the financial resources to travel with their belongings to their places of origin. MoDM has offered 500,000 Iraqi Dinar (IQD), or approximately 432 USD to IDP families returning from another governorate, and they have offered 250,000 IQD for families returning within the same governorate.
