HMSDESK has in its stead well-supported and strong medical services sought by Iraqis pursuing treatment in India. The most popular option gets precedence, with some recognizable traits concerning safety and assistance.

Iraq

The mid-20th century was an oil-rich era for Iraq that helped stabilize the economy. This newfound stability has led to investments in the health sector for better service provision.

By the 1970s, there existed a very sound and centralized healthcare system in Iraq. Here, the government introduced free healthcare as services had to be available to all people everywhere, which was taken care of by hospitals and primary care units throughout the country.

As the development matured sequentially in Iraq, by recruiting highly qualified doctors with the experience of giving facilities themselves to expatriate patients, the healthcare infrastructure came up with quite a competent and reliable one.

More and better Iraqi qualities owing to the whole development and investments in the healthcare sector bake Iraq a cake of their own for quality medical services among its population.

Health services

There had been a loss of around 330 surgeons and other doctors in a year during the Iran-Iraq war, leading to the total shutdown of effective medical treatment in Iraq at that stage.

Healthcare is mainly undertaken centrally, where an allocated sum is declared for each year by the union government for the health sector. In a global survey by the World Health Organization on the health network of the country, health attempts at newer possible options are mainly of two types.

Middle-level staff typically manages inpatient departments, and they often have 1,146 units under their control. The medical doctor will be responsible for the remaining 1,185 centers. In the 229 hospitals in Iraq, some 61 are medical colleges.

Post-2003, this old-fashioned setback resulted in serious attempts to restructure the whole healthcare system all across Iraq. The central administration allocated a significant portion of GDP to health services. The central government made comprehensive preparations to initiate a specific fund distribution and set objectives for the process. In 2003, the share of GDP was 2.7% of the allocation to health care, whereas, by 2020, this rate has exceeded 10% of the GDP.

This large incoming buoyant fund is also a prerequisite for Iraq to provide much of the health care costs free of charge to citizens, which in effect reduces the burden of financing health care expenses on individuals.

Medical Services

The Iraqi government has divided healthcare into two parts, private and public.

Private Health Services

There are no formal private healthcare facilities in Iraq. The private healthcare institutes in Iraq treat mostly the patients who have health insurance.

Almost 87% of Iraqis do not have medical insurance. Foreign residents can, however, avail themselves of services.

Government Health Services

All medicines are provided free of charge to the union's citizens as a matter of policy.

It is often due to the lack of funds.

This nation is being rebuilt in every possible respect, revising its entire infrastructure—that is to say, for reconstruction with the best and top creams that can make the smaller urban centers.

These centers claim to have more suitable staff than their rural counterparts. Such are doctors, nurses, and all the healthcare practitioners.

Furthermore, patients can purchase products at a significant discount due to their domestic production and free treatment.

It includes different countries and several international organizations working along with the union government to reconstruct healthcare infrastructure.

We advise the majority of critical patients to visit UNESCO-run hospitals.

Medical Insurance

The Iraqi government does not provide any medical insurance to its citizens; it is the responsibility of the foreign expatriates living therein to organize such coverage in the short term. Only brief conditions require specific health care.

Their Union Government issues foreign nationals a three-day medical visa for the terms of their placement in local hospitals. Religious and other negotiations, because they primarily affect these kinds of people, usually get them admitted to hospitals and health centers run by international organizations.

The majority of expat patients have international health insurance. This form of insurance, generally applicable overseas, provides expatriates with valuable coverage as part of its insurance coverage.

Visa Policy toward Medical Tourists

The history of the earliest medical tourism in the nation dates back to 1979. It actually got a lot of income from medical tourists who were previously crossing the borders for medical treatment from surrounding underdeveloped neighbors.

The situation is reversed over the present period. People have no trust in their treatment and are, therefore, compelled to undergo costly treatment abroad because there are no major treatments, i.e., treatment of major critical diseases, in the country.

It spends millions of USD annually to bring patients to developed countries as treatment can no longer be carried out for certain very essential diseases.

Do people visit India for medical treatment?

A political dispute and the resulting issues have other underlying subtopics. This turbulence is severely affecting the medical sector.

Iraqis have no other option than to visit other countries for advanced medical care.

Another reason international tourists visit India is their understanding of the lower cost burden. In fact, Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, lies on the record as being one of the topmost health facilities not only in India but also worldwide in the concept of ingenious treatment for illnesses.

An example is found where the cost charged for procedures about liver and knee critical disease management is less than 50% when compared to Jordanian hospitals undergoing surgery (28).

Every day, the Airbus departs from Baghdad to India, carrying full patients; most say that Indian Airport Authority representatives are offering statements for Baghdad Airport.

All these individuals have appointments at various hospitals that specialize in managing critical diseases.

Iraqi patients mainly come to India for the treatment of the following diseases:

Organ Transplant.

Kidney damage.

We perform open-heart surgeries.

The patient is receiving cancer and tumor treatment.

Spinal deformities.

The patient is undergoing coronary artery transplant surgery.

Though open-heart surgery is highly costly in India, people from Iraq choose this country for their treatment of this disease.

No Indian hospital can compete with postoperative care in this country.

Medical Tour

Moving to another country solely for medical care is a common practice. We count the fruitfulness of such a movement as a function of cost and benevolence. One must show inputs to the government to consider cost reduction and better treatment so the disease is getting versed with the foreign country treating the problem with better facilities than in another country.

India is the booming industry for medical tourism. Most international medical tourists prefer traveling to this country. This is because getting disease management is both high quality and low cost. However, most international patients at that time were from Iraq and Bangladesh.

Currently, Indian hospitals receive cases from the Middle East, Iraq, Russia, and the member nations of the Commonwealth. America has joined the list of countries considering India for the treatment of critical diseases.

This is quite a simple task for the Indian government. You shall have to put all your information online to accept this favor. However, if you have complications or some things unclear, you may communicate with us. We will help you to get a visa.

Many Iraqi patients are going to India for various kinds of medical and surgical work, as the Indian government fully supports medical tourism. In these patients, the main attraction of the country is the availability of a general line of tariffs.

Most treatments cost a fraction of the amount they would have to pay in their country. Rates of the procedures in India go as low as one-tenth of what they cost in Iraq.

The Health Tour combines a comprehensive full-body health checkup with tours to many of the most popular locations.

Following full body checkups, we carefully evaluate the reports we receive and provide patients with counseling based on those reports.

AfteAfter a full-day spa, there is a sightseeing tour around the city for about 2–3 days and to the main attraction tour points.

These tours are considered favorable and have beneficial effects on the patients. ThGroups typically organize these tours, while individuals, corporations, or brands purchase these packages for their executives.
