Built by local construction companies with quality assurance managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this $3.35 million dollar facility provides routine and initial emergency care to patients including x-ray, labs, and dentistry. Medical supplies and laboratory equipment were included in the contract to make this facility complete and operational.
Currently there are 47 Primary Health Clinics in the northern region of Iraq under construction. Seven of those are located in the Salah Al Den Province and are scheduled to open later this year.
"The Primary Health Clinics in the program are either replacing existing run down facilities or are being constructed in areas where there is a lack of health services. The new Primary Health Clinics will provide enhanced health care services to the people of Iraq which is greatly needed," said Marilyn Kwentus, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, construction project manager.
This facility is result of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers-Gulf Region North and local Iraqi government working together to make healthcare clinics available to as many Iraqis as possible.
