For Iraqis – By Iraqis

Weqaya

Weqaya is an initiative by a group of Iraqis with diverse professional backgrounds – all with a shared passion to contribute to improving health and wellbeing in Iraq.  

Professional Team

Our interdisciplinary team consists of people with medical as well as non-medical backgrounds.

Research Based

The projects we carry out are based on literature review and field research.

Integrated Approach

The current construction of the Iraqi health system is influenced by decades of war, sanctions and occupation. Therefore we pay close attention to the overall socio-cultural, economic and political environment and its impact on the citizen's health and well-being.

About us

Weqaya strives to actively contribute to the improvement of the health & well-being of Iraqis.

In recent years, Iraq has been hit by war, sanctions, foreign interventions and conflicts which have led to an extreme decline in Iraqi public health. Weqaya was set up by a group of enthusiastic Iraqis who believe in an independent Iraq and accessible health care.
