"The current security situation and my wish to protect my children forced me to leave my home," said Samira, a middle-aged Syrian mother who fled the Syrian Arab Republic with her four children seven months ago and now lives in Domiz camp in Iraq.
"We are living in crowded conditions, but we are safe and healthy and receiving food and health care services free of charge”. Samira said with tears in her eyes.
A major effort is being made by the Government of Iraq to improve the health situation for Syrian refugees. The Ministry of Health, through the Departments of Health in Dohuk and Anbar, and with support from WHO and partners, has been running four health clinics in the camps, providing a comprehensive package of essential health services free of charge.
