Why Iraq?
A Dental Market on the Rise
Iraq is entering a new phase of rebuilding and modernization across its healthcare system. This includes oral health and dental services, where there is a clear gap between population needs and current service capacity – a gap that creates substantial room for growth and investment.
IRAQDENT 2026 is a cornerstone of our national strategy to modernize healthcare. By uniting global innovation with local expertise, we are ensuring every Iraqi citizen has access to world-class dental care.
A distinguished professor and public health leader, Dr. Al-Hasnawi has served as Iraq’s Minister of Health since 2022. He is the primary architect of the nation’s current healthcare transformation, having overseen the modernization of over 200 dental clinics and 60 hospitals. As a former WHO consultant and a recipient of the British Royal College of Psychiatrists' Presidential Medal, he remains a leading figure in bringing international medical standards to Iraq.
