1. “Children, women, the elderly and disabled people, and the 5 per cent of the population with chronic illness - heart and kidney disease, cancer and diabetes - were especially vulnerable. Such people accounted for about 20 million out of the total population of 25 million. Those people were heavily dependent on the functioning health services that were provided by more than 1,400 medical facilities, of which 160 were hospitals and 1,200 were health centres, and by several thousand doctors. Through the oil for food programme, systems for the procurement, distribution and availability of medical supplies were in place and were funded, and health services were well used.”

2. “Mr. Nabarro: I would like to thank you, Mr. President, and other Council members, for giving me the opportunity to be here. I bring greetings from Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), who is unable to be here because she is presiding over our annual assembly, which is currently under way. I am going to present a short version of a longer statement which I hope will be accessible to Council members, prepared for this occasion by the World Health Organization's teams in Iraq and surrounding countries. When the World Health Organization assessed the health situation of the people in Iraq at the beginning of this year, we concluded that they faced the mix of health hazards that are generally associated with longstanding deprivation.”
