Integrity Commission Initiates Decisive Measures to Address Delays in Al-Shuala and Al-Hurriya Hospital Projects

rafidainscope - The Federal Commission of Integrity announced on Sunday (August 23, 2026) the initiation of procedures to resolve the files of the Al-Shuala and Al-Hurriya hospitals in Baghdad, following years of stalled progress. The Commission clarified that completion rates have reached 92.7% for Al-Shuala Hospital and 73% for Al-Hurriya Hospital. It noted that the delays were primarily caused by funding shortages, delayed procurement of medical equipment, and work stoppages exceeding 3,285 days at Al-Hurriya Hospital due to previous administrative and health-related issues. The Commission called for intensified government coordination to disburse the dues of executing companies and complete the necessary infrastructure to bring the hospitals into active service.
