WHO points to inadequate access to medical treatment in remote areas
AL-AYYACH – A worried Iraqi father points at a blister on the face of his one-year-old daughter, the result of a parasitic infection carried by sand flies in her remote village.
But this year, in a "surprising development", it reported the first confirmed case in what had been a "traditionally sand fly-free" province in northern Iraq. From cholera to chronic diarrhoea and sandstorm-triggered asthma attacks, the list of health problems confronting disadvantaged communities is long.
Raghda Ihsane, a pharmacist, listed the most common cases the team was treating: "Intestinal infections, dermatological diseases, skin rashes resulting from poor water quality, inflamed urinary tracts." "The principle cause is the use of non-potable water," said Sabah Hourami, director of Sulaimaniyah's health authority.
