Iraq to build medical city in Baghdad
Construction work on an integrated, modern medical city worth $350 million has begun, the Iraqi government announced Wednesday (January 23rd).
"The new 1,200-bed medical city will be built on an area of 100,000 square metres in central Baghdad, near the Tigris River on the site of the former al-Rasheed hospital," Ali al-Allaq, secretary-general of the Iraqi cabinet, told Al-Shorfa.
The medical city will feature a variety of specialisations that the country still lacks, he said, including cancers, neurological disorders and spinal cord problems; blood and cardiovascular diseases; bones, fractures, epidemics and contagious diseases; and others.
Construction is slated to be completed within three years under the supervision of local and European companies, al-Allaq said.
