The Best Hospitals in Kurdistan Iraq

There are a large number of public and private hospitals in Kurdistan, Iraq, as the Kurdistan Regional Government is supportive to most healthcare projects in the region, but the latest addition to the existing hospitals made everyone really proud.

The Kurdistan Children’s Hospital (KCH) was opened in March 2014 and it was accepted with a sigh of relief by the inhabitants of the autonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq. Up to now, the lack of such a hospital posed a threat to the lives of children who were seriously ill or those who had to deal with a life-threatening accident.
 
The hospital has 120 beds, accommodation facilities for parents and staff, and it provides high-standard healthcare with prominent pediatricians who have come to Erbil from international hospitals. It includes an intensive-care unit for newborn babies, an outpatient clinic, a clinic for emergencies, three operating theaters and a women’s hospital.

The Children’s Hospital, which was the dream of Dr. Shawis, belongs to and is operated by a UK-based charity organization, while substantial funding was received by the Oryx Petroleum Corporation according to the contract they had signed with the Kurdish Government.
