Ministry of Youth and Sport Back New Rehabilitation Initiative

The Iraq Ministry of Youth and Sports, under the supervision of the Department of Sports Medicine, has created a rehabilitation program for young addicts using the medium of sports to improve their physical and emotional state. 

The program was officially announced on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Youth and Sports earlier this week and is set to take place at the Al-Karkh Rehabilitation Center.

All of the participants go through medical examinations before they start their sports training. During this examination, they make sure they are safe to exercise, and can help set goals for them to reach by the end of the program. This initiative forms part of broader efforts by the Iraqi government to implement positive social reforms across Iraq.
