Last update: 8 hours agoAviation & Access to Care: Iraq’s Prime Minister’s office says Baghdad is in direct talks with the U.S. to exempt some Iraqi airports from sanctions affecting Iranian airlines, aiming to restart flights for medical treatment, education, religious visits, and civilian needs after Najaf and other airports suspended Iran routes. Public Health Impact: The flight halt is already disrupting patient travel, including people seeking treatment in Iran, raising fears of delayed care and longer, riskier journeys.

Infection Research: Iraqi researchers report plant-based zinc oxide nanoparticles that can kill MRSA and reduce its ability to stick to tissue, pointing to new anti-superbug approaches. War & Health Context: Separately, Iraq transferred remains of 153 Anfal genocide victims to the Kurdistan Region, underscoring ongoing health and forensic needs tied to mass-grave discoveries.
