Completed film from visit to Basra in 2011
The updated film from my visit to Basra last May is on: http://vimeo.com/45064203
4Basra is a partner of the Aladdin’s Magic Lamp Project – a Vienna-based charity that has been supporting the Basrah Children’s Cancer Hospital in the city of Basrah in southern Iraq, and which brings children from the region to Europe for life-saving medical treatment.
The Campaign for Children’s Health in Iraq has evolved into a new project – in which 4Basra is not currently involved - focused on improving medical care for children with cancer at a teaching hospital in Baghdad Medical City.
Meanwhile the efforts of 4Basra continue – focused on assessing the current conditions in Basra Children’s Cancer Hospital (and ideally the Basra Materntiy & Children’s Hospital) and seeking strategic partners to help to improve these services and build capacity.
