HeRAMS Iraq Baseline Report 2023 Part 2 2023: Child health and nutrition services

The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS) aims to provide decision-makers and health stakeholders at large with vital and up-to-date information on the availability of essential health resources and services, help them identify gaps, and determine priorities for intervention. 

HeRAMS has been deployed in Iraq since July 2022. The results presented in this report series are based on the assessment of 1286 health facilities across Dahuk, Erbil, and Sulaymaniyah governorates and was collected up until April 25th, 2023.
