Health Care for Iraq's Children
Iraq Fact of the Day
Since the liberation of Iraq, 70 percent of Iraq's 4.3 million
children under the age of five have been vaccinated against diseases
including polio, tetanus, diphtheria, measles, and tuberculosis. The
Ministry of Health is also conducting monthly vaccine days to reach
additional children. Access to better health care has helped prevent
disease outbreaks and is improving the well-being of children across
Iraq.
