In June 2008, WiRED, its IT partners, and the ICDDR,B provided critical medical information to Iraqi doctors via videoconference and training videos to help contain an outbreak of cholera.

On June 24, 2003, WiRED International launched its first Medical Information Center (MIC) in Iraq. Now, five years later, WiRED celebrates the anniversary of this launch, having installed more than 30 MICs throughout the country and video conferencing facilities in four Iraqi cities.
