Work place violence against health care workers in Iraq
Violence against health care workers (HCWs) is a global concern, particularly in conflict settings, and has negative consequences for health care systems. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and types of violence experienced by HCWs and to consider the relationship between violence and some sociodemographic characteristics. A descriptive analytical method was used in the study. A total of 94 hCWs in Khanaqin General Hospital compl…

Mental health status of internally displaced persons in the Garmian region of Kurdistan, Iraq
There are an estimated 4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Iraq, mainly settled in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and yet few studies have documented the mental health of IDPs in the region. The aims of this study were (1) to assess the prevalence of mental health disorders and trauma experiences amongst IDPs and (2) to explore associations between prior displacement and years living in the camp and mental health disorders. A cross-se…

Attitudes towards people with mental health illness in the Kurdistan region of Iraq
People with mental health illnesses are exposed to rejection by community members because of the negative attitudes from people towards them. This study assesses undergraduates' attitudes towards people with mental health illness in the Kurdistan region of Iraq and compares their attitudes with socio-demographic characteristics such as age, gender and academic field of study. A quantitative descriptive study design has been used for this research…
The proliferation of counterfeit and substandard medicines in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)
Despite all efforts to control the proliferation of counterfeit and substandard medicines globally, these harmful products are posing a real threat, particularly in settings of conflict. In Iraq, f

Civil–military interactions during non-conflict humanitarian crises
Humanitarian agencies and military forces are increasingly interacting on the ground during humanitarian crises. These evolving relationships are often complicated and bring forward many implementation challenges. This paper repurposes this debate by describing three non-conflict humanitarian case studies and using them to reflect on the problematic history and applicability of formal frameworks and guidelines. Recommendations to improve the stru…
The use of chemical weapons
Many survivors of the Iraqi chemical attack on Halabja, a Kurdish city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) 33 years ago on 16 March 1988, still suffer. All recall the beautiful spring day when Ir

The authors have to be lauded to study this important topic in South Sudan where data are scarce and the problem is less understood. In such a context, actions by various actors to address sexu…
The factors impeding health system reform in Iraqi Kurdistan region
The relatively poor health outcomes in Iraq have been attributed to the inability to address the shortfalls in the public health model. Calls for health system reform in Iraqi Kurdistan Region started in 2004; however, few, if any, significant changes have been achieved since then. This research examines the factors impeding public health system reform in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, as perceived by the health policy makers, through 11 in-depth, u…

Social media as an effective therapeutic tool for addressing obsessive-compulsive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic but very treatable medical condition. Adhering to the therapy plan is considered one of the biggest challenges for OCD patients, especially when communities are insecure due to armed conflicts and political upheavals. This paper documents the results of using social media platforms (especially Facebook Messenger, which provides free internet access) to manage the symptoms of a young female with chr…

The role of palliative care in addressing the health needs of Syrian refugees in Jordan
Refugees are often afflicted with health conditions that require long-term, specialized and continuous care services that are costly and difficult to secure in host countries and camp settings. This study interviewed 21 Syrian refugees in Jordan with life-limiting conditions such as cancer, diabetes, chronic disability and renal failure, and 4 caregivers caring for refugee children with similar conditions. This study found that patients in refuge…
