Iraqi medical crisis as doctors flee By John Leyne BBC News, Amman For the people of Iraq, it may be the ultimate nightmare. Doctors treat bomb victim in Sadr City hospital, Baghdad - file photo Iraq's remaining doctors face a lack of basic medical equipment The ordeal continues for victims of Iraq's violence when they are taken to hospital. Most of the best medical staff have left after being targeted by insurgents. Many have fled the country just in the last few months. Drugs and equipment are almost non-existent. The notorious militias target patients inside hospitals, and doctors inside the health ministry. All this in a country that used to pride itself on the best medical services in the Middle East. You can reach a hospital easily, but there is no one to deal with you. And if they do deal with you they might come and kill you afterwards Iraqi doctor in Jordan Many of the doctors have gone to neighbouring Jordan. There seem to be many thousands here, all with graphic tales of the horrors they have witnessed.
