BASRAH — Primary Healthcare Centers (PHC) are scheduled for completion by July 2007 in the Basrah province of southern Iraq.
The 11 PHCs are designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Gulf Region South district, to provide essential medical care to the Iraqi people.
“The new PHCs will offer much more than a standard health clinic for the Iraqi people because they will improve the preventative care and medical services in Iraq,” said Thomas Edison, chief of engineering and construction with the GRS district.
The health centers include a pharmacy, a dental area, an x-ray facility, maternity facilities and a modern fire alarm system, Edison said.
“We [U.S. Army Corps of Engineers] believe the PHCs will make health care much more accessible, [which] will improve the health of all the Iraqi people,” said Edison.
GRS officials estimated each PHC is expected to serve between 100,000 to 250,000 patients each year.
