AMAR’s medical professionals and volunteers are heavily involved in the fight to protect some of Iraq’s most disadvantaged people from COVID-19. Our doctors, nurses and women health volunteers (WHVs) are running awareness campaigns across the country, and our clinics are on high alert and remain vigilant over the threat posed by the virus to their patients. The death toll and the number of confirmed cases continues to rise daily. The first suspected cases have been reported in northern Iraq, and experts are trying to prevent it from spiralling out of control. In Basra, the focus has been on promoting health information on the virus through community councils, WHVs and health education in schools’ programmes. In the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, in Khanke and Essyan IDP camps, where AMAR runs healthcare clinics serving tens of thousands of displaced Yazidis, staff have been quick off the mark. They were running an awareness campaign as early as February in response to the announcement of the first case in Iraq. The team distributed information leaflets on the virus and ways to prevent its spread among camp residents.
