- Public Hospitals
There is at least one public hospital in
every municipality in Baghdad. There is a
fee for entering the hospital, but it is low.
Americans should expect to pay cash for
this fee. Additional fees must be paid in
cash for consultations, hospital stays and
medicine. Hospitals in Baghdad are not
well equipped at this time and medical
care is significantly below Western
standards. The best public hospitals in
Baghdad are: Al-Yermouk in Mansour, Al-
Kindi on Palestine Street in 7th Nissan,
and Al-Shaheed Adnan on Baba Muadham
Street in Rusafa.

Private Hospitals
There are also private hospitals in Baghdad that normally provide better care and
service than the public hospitals, but they charge a higher fee. All fees must be paid in
cash. The best private clinics in Baghdad are al-Hayat on 52 street in Karada, al-
Rahebat on Karada inside street in Karada, and Karkh hospital for surgery. None of
the private hospitals have emergency rooms.
There are several public clinics in Baghdad that charge minimal fees. However, the
service and level of care is minimal. Many public clinics are in areas that are not safe
and it is not recommended to go to a public clinic.
There are many private clinics in Baghdad for consultations with general
practitioners and specialists. The U.S. consular office is currently compiling a list of
clinics and physicians in Baghdad.
