Iraqi Health Minister: No bird flu in Baghdad
Iraqi Health Minister Dr Ali Al Shammari said claims of a discovery of a new case of bird flu in Baghdad were baseless.
Iraq is free of the disease due to the extraordinary efforts and scientific programs of the higher central committee for tracking bird flu, the minister said in a statement transmitted by Al Iraqia TV station today.
He said reports carried by some newspapers are not based on accurate information and that they aim at shaking citizen’s confidence in Iraqi health establishments and the services they offer.
