this lifted from nytimes april 18th..
"The Red Cross says that hospitals here had imported $500 million in medical supplies each year before the last war. But in the entire eight years since the U.N. began allowing Iraq to sell some of its oil to meet civilian needs, hospitals have only imported $40 million in supplies, reducing Iraq's hospitals, once among the best in the region, to what one aid official called Third World status"

Looks like Saddam took $460 million a year from the oil for food program and spent it on making himself comfortable.

2600 hospitals is what i recall reading in a few reports. Last report mentioned all hospitals up and running. I expect we didn't try to bomb these hospitals but troops may have been firing from a street next to a hospital or a school..
