Molecular diagnostics are used to identify infectious diseases .Securing the different types of health services, preventive, curative and rehabilitation of the basic necessities of the individual and society is part of the economic and social development, the Ministry of Health before the embargo the country and the terms of reference of modern medical equipment and refurbished medical equipment, such that the health services in the country in all its aspects to the stage of qualitative and quantitative development admittedly many of the specialized agencies and international experts. That the imposition of the embargo has negatively impacted on the level of health services and spare the necessary medical supplies such as vaccines, medicines and laboratory solutions. In spite of that medicines and medical supplies but not prohibited under UN resolutions, but that the need for medicines and medical supplies that have increased due to the deteriorating state of health, environmental and food, which led to the emergence of many diseases, and chronic diseases and malnutrition. For example, Iraq was clean and free of cholera; the disease returned and appeared again significantly in 1991. The scarcity of essential drugs and lack of availability of the required quantities led to the deterioration of the situation of citizens suffering from chronic diseases such as sugar and heart disease, hypertension, epilepsy, kidney failure and cancer diseases.The laboratory tests were not no better than drugs, because the lack of laboratory materials and equipment used to conduct those tests and lack of maintenance and sustaining them available because of the acute shortage of spare parts and failing to be delivered to Iraq as well as the lack of diagnostic kits necessary to conduct examinations and laboratory tests, all that reflected negatively on the number of tests performed annually following table shows the percentage decline in the monthly Madal to prepare laboratory tests compared to 1989. Impediments to the implementation of the diagnostic kits (negatives)-The lack of some raw materials necessary for the completion of diagnostic kits, including: -Chemicals.-Other essentials.-Hardware.-Difficulties in meeting the needs of the researcher: -Chemicals.-Services in the local market.-Continuing attempts to obtain materials and devices from other outlets outside the country led to: -The survival of the need for quite a few of the resources vernacular.-The cost of scientific resources, stationery and print the necessary reports to parents of high.-The difficulty in obtaining journals and literature of modern world.-The area of examination and evaluation-Assigning one for the purpose of examination and evaluation. -Not possible to give a certificate of inspection for some diagnostic kits for the following reasons the amount of material sent for testing are limited, instabilities of some materials, lack of some modern techniques and equipment. -Unable to implement a number of these numbers.-A steady increase in prices of materials and equipment and the cost of sustaining an impact on services: -Estimates of the prices offered by the researchers.-A number of research and is now paragraph of materials and devices is the amount greater than what they have as much time of signing the contract.-Lack of standard materials and solutions for a number of diagnostic as reference material for the purpose of comparison scanned materials and productive and the lack of number of standard delay in conducting the tests or they can not be implemented with the references.
