Displaced Iraqis in Egypt

Over 70 000 Iraqis are currently living in Egypt. The Ministry of Health and Population is committed to providing health services for displaced Iraqis on the same basis as the local population, whether or not they are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In this context, the WHO country office provides: 

technical advice and support to national authorities (and UN agencies where required) on specific programmes and priorities, and on practical measures for ensuring the provision of equitable and quality preventive and curative health services;

support to the Ministry of Health and Population through provision of supplies and equipment for secondary and tertiary care services (renal dialysis, intensive care and other advanced services, essential drugs);

support in strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Health and Population to coordinate and provide mental health and psychological assistance.
