Hussein is recovering at this hospital in Baghdad's Medical City. It's considered the biggest and among the best in the country. Since Iraq's dedicated military hospital was destroyed in a US airstrike in 2003, many soldiers have been treated here, in addition to civilian patients.

During the height of the conflict against ISIS, the facility received dozens of injured soldiers per day. The director tells us that casualties exceeded its capacity and financial resources.
