Background: Primary healthcare in Egypt has undergone significant reforms since the 1990s, including the pioneering Family Health Program (FHP). However, limited evaluation exists regarding the FHP's impact on enhancing the delivery of primary healthcare services. The primary objective of this study was to analyze and understand the efficiency and effectiveness of the FHP in altering the delivery of primary healthcare in Egypt. We aimed to outline the fundamental characteristics of the primary healthcare system, compare them between the conventional and the newly reformed FHP centers, and gauge the awareness level of these variances among key decision-makers, focusing specifically on Cairo, Egypt. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a mixed methods approach to evaluate and compare the quality of care between conventional clinics and FHP clinics in Cairo using the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) tool. The study population consisted of healthcare providers and municipal health authorities in Cairo. A purposive sampling method was used to select 19 FHP clinics and 12 conventional clinics, representing 75% of the total government primary care clinics in Cairo. Surveys were conducted among healthcare providers at these clinics, and interviews were conducted with 8 carefully selected municipal health authorities in supervisory roles. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the survey responses. The chi-square (y2) test was employed to examine variations in scores between FHP and conventional clinics, with significance attributed to differences at the P < 0.05 level. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of the scales used within each primary care dimension. Results: FHP clinics scored significantly higher on continuity of care (4.17 ± 0.37 vs. 3.68 ± 0.51, P = 0.05), family-centered approach (4.28 ± 0.59 vs. 2.97 ± 0.44, P = 0.01), and provider competency (4.29 ± 0.39 vs. 3.42 ± 0.99, P = 0.01) compared to conventional clinics. FHP clinics were more likely to offer domestic violence services (2.76 ± 1.49 vs. 1.80 ± 1.74, P = 0.02), tuberculosis treatment (2.73 ± 2.11 vs. 0.12 ± 0.34, P = 0.029), and prenatal care (4.75 ± 0.00 vs. 4.01 ± 1.56, P = 0.014). Conclusion: While FHP clinics demonstrate benefits in continuity, family-focus, and provider competency, quality improvements are still required in both conventional and FHP clinics to achieve comprehensive, continuous, integrated, and patient-centered primary healthcare aligned with community needs. Further evaluations are warranted given the continued expansion of the FHP program.
This study aimed to identify the effect of resistance training on the biomechanics and accuracy of serve receiving skills in volleyball. The research community was composed of 26 young volleyball players of Baghdad volleyball clubs. A total of 4 players were selected for the preliminary experiment, while 14 participants were recruited as the main sample for the study. In the present study, a set of resistance exercises were designed by the researchers for the volleyball players of the sample. Exercises were performed by the sample participants during the course of study. The biomechanical variables considered in the present study were: Preparation moment (shoulder joint angle, hip angle, knee joint angle), moment of pr

The Aims of this study were to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Cyclin D1 in mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands and to correlate the immunoexpression of this protein with the clinicopathological findings. Materials and methods Retrospectively, twelve of archival formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue samples of salivary Mucoepidermoid and fourteen blocks of adenoid cystic carcinomas obtained from the archives of the department of oral pathology / college of dentistry / Baghdad university, Al-Shaheed Ghazi hospital, were included in this study. Five micrometer sections o

To reduce the likelihood of this issue, efforts have been made to identify the causes of stuck pipes. The main mechanisms that cause stuck pipes include drill cutting of the formation, inappropriate hole-cleaning, wellbore instability, and differential sticking forces, particularly in highly deviated wellbores. The significant consequences of a stuck pipe include an increase in well costs and Non-Productive Time (NPT), and in the worst-case scenario, the loss of a wellbore section and down-hole equipment, or the need to sidetrack, plug, or abandon the well. This paper provides a comprehensive

The research aim is to determine the relation between governmental consumption expenditure (GCE) & GDP in Iraq for the period 1981-2006.
The research has determined the scale of optimization for (GCE) & try to know the extent productivity of this expenditure and using the long run &short run model to test .The results clarify the following
1-The marginal productivity for the (GCE) is positive so it is productive.
2-The (GCE) in Iraq is too high because the marginal productivity for the expenditure less than 1.
3- The (GCE) percentage to GNP is

In spite of the importance of the human capital in the knowledge organization, The accounting as an information systems, does not give a great deal of consideration to the human capital, and does not treat investment in it as an original factor, but it shows it on the base of salaries and payrolls that is appears in the financial statements as a revenue expenditure. As a result of that the financial statement are not a true expression of the actual status and then some of the decisions taken under the present circum
