U.S. govt. to build 143 clinics in Iraq
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Contracts have been finalized for the building of 142 primary healthcare clinics in Iraq, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday.
The total contract cost of the clinics, which are each expected to treat 40,000 to 100,000 patients per year, is $185 million. Funding will be taken from the $18.4 billion Congress appropriated for the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund.
The clinics have a modular design that includes six examination rooms, a pharmacy, two dental examination rooms and X-ray facilities.
Once built, each clinic will receive three months of support from the U.S. army, including medical supplies, office equipment and furniture, before they are turned over to the Iraqi Ministry of Health.
