RAND staff reviewed available literature on the Kurdistan Region and information relevant to primary care; interviewed a wide range of policy leaders, health practitioners, patients, and government officials to gather information and understand their priorities; collected and studied all available data related to health resources, services, and conditions; and projected future supply and demand for health services in the Kurdistan Region; and laid out the health financing challenges and questions. In this volume, the authors describe the strengths of the health care system in the Kurdistan Region as well as the challenges it faces. The authors suggest that a primary care-oriented health care system could help the KRG address many of these challenges. The authors discuss how such a system might be implemented and financed, and they make recommendations for better utilizing resources to improve the quality, access, effectiveness, and efficiency of primary care.--$cSource other than Library of congress. 606 $aMedical care$zKurdiståan$zIraq 606 $aPrimary care (Medicine)$zKurdiståan$zIraq 606 $aHealth Workforce$xorganization & administration 606 $aHealth Planning 606 $aPrimary Health Care 606 $aHealth Information Systems$xorganization & administration 606 $aHealthcare Financing 607 $aIraq 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aPrimary care (Medicine) 615 22$aHealth Workforce$xorganization & administration. 615 22$aHealth Planning. 615 12$aPrimary Health Care. 615 22$aHealth Information Systems$xorganization & administration. 615 22$aHealthcare Financing. 676 $a362.109417 702 $aMoore$b Melinda 712 02$aKurdista?n (Iraq).$bH?iku?meti?
