Iran to inaugurate second mega-hospital later this week
In a significant stride towards bolstering the nation’s healthcare infrastructure, the Minister of Health, Bahram Einollahi, announced the inauguration of the state-of-the-art Ghadir mega-hospital later this week on Friday.
The grand opening, scheduled to coincide with Eid al-Ghadir, will be graced by the presence of the president at the Shohada-e Tajrish hospital complex, ISNA reported.
Einollahi elucidated that the establishment of mega-hospitals is a cornerstone of the Ministry of Health’s strategic policies. The objective behind these colossal healthcare facilities is to offer patients a comprehensive suite of specialized and sub-specialized medical services under one roof, thereby eliminating the need for multiple visits to different centers.
In line with this approach, the country’s second large-scale hospital, named Ghadir, will be unveiled by the president at the Shohada-e Tajrish hospital complex on the auspicious day of Eid al-Ghadir Kham.
Einollahi, citing the Ministry of Health’s announcement, revealed that Ghadir mega-hospital boasts an impressive capacity of 821 beds, 68 emergency beds, and 24 operating rooms. The hospital is fully equipped with all requisite medical apparatuses, ensuring a high standard of patient care.
The Minister of Health further highlighted that Ghadir mega-hospital is outfitted with a cutting-edge emergency heliport, capable of coordinating with the Civil Aviation Organization and the country’s emergency services. This facility will enable swift aerial transportation of patients to the hospital, significantly reducing response times in critical situations.
In a symbolic gesture, the inaugural flight from Ghadir mega-hospital’s heliport will take place on the opening day, in collaboration with Tehran medical emergency organization.
