Zusammenfassung:[...]the author explores the transition from British-backed monarchy to the socialist era (1958-1980). [...]between 1980 and 1988, during the war against Iran, the Iraqi state mobilised medicine as an instrument of nation-building. [...]subsequent to the conclusion of the Gulf War-the author describes the dismemberment of state medicine, first under the United Nations (UN)-sponsored sanctions, and later in the aftermath of the United States (US) invasion (2003 to present). [...]the proposal to establish a medical school was temporarily shelved until 1927, when Baghdad's new Royal College of Medicine was established.
