ERBIL — The Kurdistan Region’s Ministry of Health on Thursday unveiled its preparations for Eid Al-Fitr, instructing directorates across governorates and autonomous administrations to maintain healthcare services throughout the holiday.
According to a ministry statement, emergency hospitals and medical centers will remain open, with ambulance services on standby and fuel supplies secured. Inspections will continue, while specialized clinics for chemical treatments and dialysis are required to remain operational.
Mobile health teams will monitor communicable diseases, assess household water supplies, and provide services in tourist areas and displacement camps.
