Urgency: Context · Evidence: Attributed claim
Oncological surgeon Salam Musa told Shafaq that disconnected public and private health records impede Iraq's cancer statistics. He called for a centralized electronic registry covering both sectors. This is a clinician's assessment and proposal, not an independently audited national database finding; unreconciled cancer totals in the report are omitted.
What the sources establish
Musa is the claimant in Shafaq's original interview. No independent registry audit or second original account was inspected. Numerical comparisons have unclear periods and denominators, so they are omitted. Implementation remains unresolved; no contrary assessment was obtained. Event time represents the publication minute, not an interview or diagnosis time. The rounded national coordinate excludes patients and medical facilities. No identity label or medical guidance is inferred.
