Our History
Founding and Purpose
Our hospital is named in honor of Dr. Jamal Ahmad Rashid, a respected pediatrician from Sulaymaniyah who dedicated much of his life to children’s health. Dr. Jamal was born in 1945 in Sulaymaniyah, graduated from medical college in 1969, and served as a doctor for 47 years, treating large numbers of children each day before retiring in 2015, while continuing to volunteer and support pediatric care.
Our hospital was founded to provide specialized pediatric healthcare and has grown into a key institution in the region for children requiring clinical treatment, chronic care, and emergency services. As a teaching hospital, we also support pediatric research, medical education, and professional training.
