However, he is sad to see the destruction of Baghdad and the damage of health facilities; He highlighted that the breakdown of disease surveillance system, breakdown of public health programmes, damage done to health facilities, disruption of water and sanitation network will lead to outbreaks of diseases, especially water born diseases and vaccine preventable diseases. The pressing health related action to be taken during such times, is:
2 Maintain and support the operation of health programmes by provision of support to running cost as well as technical support. WR expressed his deepest appreciation and gratitude to all the health personnel and staff who continued working in the health facilities.
