Ghadir Hospital: Symbol of Iran’s prominent health sector
The newly inaugurated Ghadir Hospital, equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities and specializing in trauma and neurology, is poised to become a regional health leader, according to its director, Pouria Shojaei.
The hospital aims to cater to the medical needs of patients across the country and attract foreign patients for medical tourism, IRNA reported.
The hospital’s inauguration comes as part of the current administration’s initiative to complete half-finished projects, with the president emphasizing the importance of this endeavor.
The project, supported by the authorities and executed with relentless diligence, cost nearly $50 million and was inaugurated in the presence of the President and the Minister of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education.
Shojaei stated that Ghadir Hospital is a significant addition to the Shohada-e Tajrish Medical Center. The hospital was completed and equipped to increase patient acceptance and service provision, given the daily influx of thousands of people from different regions seeking medical services.
The 821-bed Ghadir Hospital boasts smart operating rooms, specialized departments such as ICU, NICU, CCU, a delivery department, an advanced emergency department equipped with an aerial heliport, brain angiography, imaging, dialysis, physiotherapy, specialized clinics, and inpatient departments for women, men, and children. The hospital also performs live surgeries through organ donation and has the capacity to accept accident victims via the air heliport, a unique feature in the region.
Shojaei noted that Ghadir Hospital could admit patients from neighboring provinces of Tehran Province in the fields of neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and trauma. The hospital is equipped to compensate for deficiencies in Tehran, especially in the northeast of the capital, and serve patients nationwide.
Ghadir Hospital, the trauma center in the north of the country, has one of the largest emergency rooms in the country with 68 beds. It is staffed by hundreds of internal professors, specialists, subspecialists, and university staff members, enabling it to accept and treat elective and non-emergency surgeries from all over the country.
Shojaei emphasized that the new hospital, equipped with the facilities of a large hospital, serves the people with government tariffs. The hospital has contracts with insurance companies and, due to its advanced facilities, can provide excellent services at the level of large regional hospitals.
The hospital’s unique heliport is designed to solve the problem of transferring transplant patients to the north of Tehran between this center and Tehran’s Masih Deneshvari Hospital. The hospital also features intelligent control systems for ventilation, air conditioners, fan coils, engine rooms, chillers, diesel generators, transformers, and CCTV cameras.
Reza Zandi, Vice President of Medicine at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, stated that Ghadir Hospital is a complete and well-equipped hospital complex for the whole country. He emphasized that patients from all over the country will be admitted in this center.
