Iraq inaugurates largest emergency hospital in Mosul to strengthen health services
New Umm Al-Rabieen facility marks key step in Nineveh’s post-war reconstruction and medical infrastructure upgrade
MOSUL, Iraq (MNTV) — Iraq inaugurated the Umm Al-Rabieen Emergency Hospital in West Mosul, the country’s largest specialized emergency facility, as part of efforts to enhance health services and support reconstruction in Nineveh province.
The 100-bed hospital is equipped with advanced medical technology and includes six fully integrated operating rooms, making it a central hub for urgent care across the governorate.
Officials said the facility will significantly improve access to specialized treatment for Mosul residents and surrounding communities, according to Iraqi News.
Nineveh Governor Abdul Qadir Al-Dakhil, who presided over the opening ceremony, hailed the project as a “qualitative leap” for the province’s health sector.
He credited the backing of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani as well as the Ministries of Planning and Finance, the Health Directorate, and the implementing firms for pushing through completion after years of delays.
“This hospital is a vital step toward serving our citizens and rebuilding confidence in Nineveh’s healthcare system,” Al-Dakhil said, adding that more projects are underway.
The governor confirmed that the province will soon inaugurate two additional strategic medical facilities: the Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Hospital and the Al-Jumhouri Hospital.
Together, these projects are expected to complete Nineveh’s core health infrastructure, addressing long-standing gaps left by years of conflict and destruction.
