Today I was reading the local newspapers in Kurdistan and two different news attracted my attention. The first one was from the paper of one of the ruling parties in Kurdistan (Kurdistany Nwe), featuring the selling of an MRI machine costing one million, eight hundred thousands of dollars. The other news was from Rudaw newspaper, having a piece about the health consequences of using sewage water for growing vegetables in the governorates of Erbil.
When I was reading those pieces of news, I was developing an image of the poor man, lady or kid, who consumes contaminated vegetables waterd by the dirty water, and developing a pain in the back, lung, stomach or having a seizure because of a haydatid cyst in those locations.
Our government will go bankrupt if it continuous to ignore the basic human needs of the population of clean drinking water and sanitation. There is no point in throwing money at our simply solved problems that arise from inattention to basic health infrastructure.
This is if we ignore the huge amount of money spent on the scan. I googled prices of the machine and I found figures way less than what (kurdistany nwe) presented.

The MRI machine is to diagnose the Hydatid cyst and put the money of the patients into the health care system's income as a new policy for health reform!!!!
