Iraq Infection Control Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025

The Iraq infection control market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.97% during the forecast period. There is a lack of good quality healthcare and healthcare prevention and control measures in Iraq, which is attributable to the fact that there are limited resources available in the county. This has resulted in the absence of basic medical infection prevention essentials such as surgical gloves and surgical masks. In addition, as a result of the prevalence of poor living standards and poor living conditions in some parts of the country and lack of affordability among the low-income population, the burden of infections further increases. Hence, the opportunity for the market players to tap the potential is immense in the country.

There are government organizations, which are providing enhanced and updated guidelines in order to mitigate this issue. For example, WHO has laid a set of guidelines that must be deployed nation-wide, and globally in order to provide effective antimicrobial resistance (AMR). According to those guidelines, there are some essential components for efficient infection prevention and control (IPC). The first step is the laying out of effective and mandatory guidelines, the next component involves the facilitation of proper education and training to ensure that the guidelines are followed in the healthcare sector, the essential and the penultimate component is the surveillance, which is equally necessary in order to ensure the guidelines are being followed properly. The last step is the monitoring, audit, and feedback, in which the conditions and actions that were monitored and the gathered results are compared to analyze the effectiveness of imposing the guidelines.
