The Healthcare and Wellness activities have emerged in Al-Basheer Foundation for Development to enhance and support the Iraqi health sector, which suffers from several difficulties that led to a reluctance to provide health services to citizens. The enhancements were implemented through allocating subsidized health centres that provide various health services with minimal expenses which ordinary citizens can afford. These services are (Internal Medicine Clinics, Dentistry Clinics, Ophthalmologic Clinics and eyesight check-ups, Paediatric Clinics, Orthopaedics Clinics, Gynecology Clinics, Nursing services, Health-care Services, Sonogram Tests, and Medical laboratories). Most health complexes include pharmacy services. It’s worth noting that the foundation has installed several TV screens in the complex’s waiting rooms to display health awareness short films among citizens with the purpose of increasing health awareness among the general public.
