Financial crisis
Financial crisis
In 2008 there was only one working elevator, out of ten, in the 18 storey building and no air-conditioning. In February 2016, the hospital, like all public hospitals in Iraq, began to charge patients for individual services. It was expected that supplies of advanced medical equipment like pacemakers and stents will run out during 2016.
