Health Policy

It is the responsibility of Ministry of Health to plot for the health strategy and policy of Kurdistan Region. In Duhok governorate, however, it is the General Directorate of Health and its departments which are actually responsible of planning, managing and monitoring the directorates, districts and health facilities. As an achievement of the decision of the 11th of March 1970, Badinan became a governorate and, meanwhile, the General Directorate of Health was established in Duhok. Since then, it’s persistently delivering the needed health services to the involved citizens. After the Glorious Uprising of 1991 and aided by Kurdistan regional government with some of the governmental and nongovernmental foreign organizations, obvious and important steps had been taken to build and repair health facilities of this governorate, as well as improving the educational level of health staff and care givers.
