Abstract EN

This study sought to focus on the ability of government health systems in the study area on providing high quality services, and to evaluate these services through the visit of the population.

The study revealed that the average per visit of an individual to health institutions decreased between 2007-2017, and in 2007 the average per person visits to health institutions in the study area (2.4) decreased in 2017 to (2.1) visits per person population.

This decrease may be due to improved health conditions in the study area, which has reduced many diseases.

Also, the visit of person has varied between the Governments in area of study.

In 2007, Governorate of Muthanna had the highest visit rate of (3.2), and Governorate of Diwaniyah recorded the lowest visit rate of (1.7) per person population.

In 2017, Governorate of Karbala had the highest visit rate of (2.7) per person, and Governorate of Diwaniyah also did not change its rank with the lowest visit rate of (1.5) per person.

Therefore, the study suggests the need to provide human resources and medical devices that help in accurate diagnosis of diseases, which reflects positively on the efficiency and speed of treatment that contributes to restoring the population's confidence in government health institutions.
