With a 100-bed capacity, the hospital aims to serve Amedi and its surrounding areas, addressing a long-standing need for improved medical services in the region.

The hospital’s journey began on Sept. 7, 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani laid its foundation stone.

Despite the pandemic’s challenges and the financial constraints faced by the KRG, Prime Minister Barzani pledged to prioritize essential service projects.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony in 2020, Prime Minister Barzani emphasized the government’s steadfast commitment to equitable development, stating, "Our goal is to provide services to all cities, towns, villages, and regions of Kurdistan without discrimination, ensuring that every citizen benefits from improved infrastructure."

The hospital’s completion underlines this vision, marking a momentous milestone in the KRG’s efforts to enhance healthcare access across the region.

By investing $43 million into the project, the government has not only fulfilled a key promise to the people of Amedi but also confirmed its ability to provide essential services amid financial challenges.

The opening of Hitute Hospital signifies more than just the construction of a facility—it is a symbol of resilience and the prioritization of public welfare.

As the KRG continues its comprehensive development initiatives, this milestone confirms its commitment to promoting a more equitable and prosperous Kurdistan for all its citizens.
