Borsippa Organization: It is an international non-governmental organization that defends and promotes basic rights and freedoms in all countries of the world. Adopting a holistic approach, we work on both the individual and structural levels. We represent victims of human rights violations, women’s issues and child protection before the mechanisms of international law. In order to ensure that these violations do not recur, we identify patterns and root causes of violations on the ground, and draw the attention of relevant stakeholders to key issues to demand reform of laws and policies.
Our organization was founded in 2014 by Dr. Nuri Al-Saeed. We have branches and representatives in most countries of the world. We believe in the power of law to support individuals in claiming their rights, and to promote justice and freedom in all countries of the world. The principle of universality lies at the heart of our work, so we defend all victims of grave violations, without discrimination. As such, we believe that adopting a non-political approach to human rights issues, and supporting everyone to claim their rights, using a powerful and just means to achieve change. Since human rights violations do not occur in a vacuum, we are also committed to implementing a sustainable strategy to promote structural reforms.
Mortality Trends and Leading Causes of Death in Najaf Governorate, Iraq: A Comprehensive Analysis (2019-2022)
Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the leading causes of mortality in the Najaf Governorate, Iraq, from 2019 to 2022, using data from the Iraq Health Information System (HIS), local hospitals, and Al-Sadr Medical City. The research focused on the most prevalent categories, represented by ICD-10 codes. The results revealed that ischemic heart diseases and chronic kidney disease were consistently among the top causes of death during the study period, with COVID-19-related mortality also becoming prominent in 2020 and 2021. The age distribution of deaths showed a high risk of death for infants aged 0 years across all three years, highlighting the need for improved maternal and child healthcare services. Additionally, differences in mortality rates between males and females were observed, with certain causes of death, such as hypertensive diseases, being more prevalent in females, while car occupant injuries in transport accidents and malignant neoplasms of the bronchus and lung were more common in males. The study recommends strengthening the Health Information System, implementing targeted prevention and management strategies for non- communicable diseases, addressing infant mortality, and developing gender-specific health interventions. Collaboration with international organizations and further research are also suggested to inform evidence-based policies and programs tailored to the needs of the Najaf Governorate.
