In addition, Iraq faces serious environmental challenges, including pollution, climate change effects, extreme heat, and drought. In the spring of 2022, thousands were admitted to hospitals due to unprecedentedly intense sandstorms that temporarily brought the country to a standstill. Moreover, eight small rivers and three lakes completely dried up due to generally low water levels and high temperatures, threatening food security and agricultural livelihoods. Vulnerable groups continue to suffer from multiplying effects due to their inability to access appropriate health services and the components of healthy living.
This report consists of three main sections. It begins with a brief historical overview of the context of the right to health in Iraq from the establishment of the modern state to the present day. It then examines and analyzes right-to-health indicators and discusses the leading challenges to the right to health. Finally, it concludes with recommendations for various actors, including civil society, the government, and the international community.
