Subject: Supply of Quinine
With greetings and respect
Reference to your letter No. 2808 dated 11/2/943 to the Baghdad Province Health Presidency
and a copy of it to us.
The Baghdad Province Health Presidency has instructed in its letter No. S 652 dated 15/2/943 to
both Hasso and Korgi stores to supply the Jewish hospitals with a kilo ⟦of⟧ Quinine Sulfate and half
a kilo of Quinine Hydrochloride, and since our hospitals are still in dire need of the quantities requested
in our letter No. 7234 dated 9/1/943, and Your Excellency has previously supported this in your letter
referred to above, we hope that you will instruct to supply us with the required quantities from the medical depot in
the event that it is not possible to obtain them from private depots.

After greetings and respect,
The analysis laboratory at Meir Elias Hospital, which performs the necessary pathological
analyses for this hospital and its affiliated health institutions, namely Rima
Khedouri Eye Hospital and the Dispensary for the Poor, lacks the medical materials listed in the
attached list. Given that these materials are not available in the market and obtaining them is very
necessary for the operation of the laboratory, we request Your Excellency to kindly direct that we be provided with the items on this list
from the medical storehouse in exchange for the prices we will pay upon receipt.
With much gratitude and respect to Your Excellency;

His Excellency the Director General of Revenues, Respected
We have received word from the Israeli Spiritual Council in Baghdad that some slaughterers who perform the slaughtering of
vows for Israelis in homes have been tempted by greed and have begun to exploit them to smuggle consumption fees,
the gate installment, and the Gabelle fees collected by the community to be spent on widows, orphans, and its charitable
institutions such as schools and hospitals.
Some of them have become accustomed to receiving vows from their owners under the pretext of delivering them to the hospital to feed
the patients, but they sell them and consume the proceeds. Others have become accustomed to slaughtering sheep for sale under the pretext that they are vows.
In addition to leading to the loss of government fees and community fees imposed by law, this also leads
to harm to public health, which is protected by the Law on Contagious Animal Diseases.
Accordingly, we have found that the only way to remedy matters is to restrict the slaughter of vows to Meir
Elias Hospital and prohibit it inside homes, except on the eve of Arafat for the Jewish New Year. Indeed, we have prepared
a suitable place in Meir Elias Hospital with the approval of the specialized veterinarian for slaughtering vows there. Whatever
is (Kosher) shall be transferred immediately to the hospital kitchen to use its meat for poor patients, with the possibility of delivering
half of the carcass to the owner of the vow to distribute it to the poor as they see fit, if they so request.
I hope Your Excellency will kindly issue the necessary orders to implement our proposal if you find it in the public
interest, and to consider any slaughter that occurs outside the designated place in Meir Elias Hospital as if it occurred
outside the slaughterhouse.

His Excellency the Director General of Social and Health Affairs, Respected
After greetings and respect.
The Directorate of Jewish Hospitals has previously submitted to the Directorate of Social Affairs a request for
medicines from the medical storehouse that were not found in the storehouses and pharmacies of Baghdad, and the answer was "with
regret, it is difficult for the medical storehouse to supply these materials under the present circumstances as what is available
hardly suffices to meet the needs of government institutions. We have learned from the Directorate of the Medical Storehouse the possibility of obtaining
them from Bombay or Palestine at prices that do not differ from the storehouse prices."
It is not hidden from Your Excellency that the health institutions managed by the Jewish community in Baghdad are
among the public charitable institutions that serve the collective and ensure the public benefit that the
country lacks. For example, Meir Elias Hospital always contains 130 beds, constantly occupied, and in the
Rima Khedouri Eye Hospital there are 32 beds, while the average number of those who visit for eye treatment is 700 - 800 patients
daily, all of whom are poor people from all religions, in addition to the Dar al-Shifa dispensary for the poor, which provides medical
service to patients at an average of 200 - 220 visitors daily and provides them with medicines for free, and there are dispensaries
for eyes in all schools.
The Jewish community in Baghdad spends huge sums on these designated institutions, which it collects
from the yield of endowments and from the donations of benefactors. By doing so, besides providing health service to a large number of
citizens, it undoubtedly greatly alleviates the burdens of the government in this regard.
In such a case, the recourse of these institutions to request the assistance of the esteemed government in
critical times is a natural matter, and it is expected that they will receive all sympathy and assistance that encourages them to continue
performing the share they have taken upon themselves of public service, and of this kind is providing them with the medicines
they need at their prescribed prices as long as obtaining them from the market is difficult.
We have firm hope that Your Excellency will appreciate these representations of ours and instruct the medical storehouse to deliver the quantities
of medicines requested in the attached list to Meir Elias Hospital after paying their prices. To Your Excellency, the highest
respect.
