Medical care and education in Iraq is slowly but steadily improving. As a population, Iraq is medically underserved with nearly a 100,000 physician need to provide care for its citizens and only approximately 15,000 to 20,000 physicians currently working in Iraq.
Level of care, formal education and training are greatest in the larger urban areas while most of rural Iraq is without sufficient primary, emergency and specialty care or formal educational opportunities. Most of the universities, teaching programs and hospitals are currently working to

In honor of World Alzheimer’s Day, which was Sunday, Sept. 21, the Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter asked people across the globe to turn their attention to this disease and visit www.actionalz.org to learn more and make a donation to support research and care service programs for those touched by the disease in the United States.
For every dollar donated, the Alzheimer’s Association’s national board of directors will match it dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000.
The number of people affected by Alzheimer’s is growing at an alarming rate, and the increasing financial and personal costs will have a devastating effect on the world’s economies, healthcare systems and families. We must make the fight against Alzheimer’s a global priority. It’s up to every one of us to learn more about the disease and join the fight.
