Tehran, YJC. A charity organization has started constructing a specialty treatment center for cancer patients.
Ali Akbar Velayati, Director of Masih Daneshvari Hospital, announced
on Saturday said that the hospital is under construction in Rey, city next to Tehran
to the south, and predicted that when the modern hospital is put into service,
the people diagnosed with cancer would not need to go abroad for treating their
disease.
Velayati, who is also a top advisor to the Supreme Leader of
the Islamic Revolution, further noted that diagnosis, medical treatment,
surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are among the services
provided in the center.
He also expressed the hope that the specialty hospital,
which is built in part by public donations, would be opened as soon as
possible.
In April 2014, another specialty hospital for the treatment
of cancer was inaugurated in a bid to provide better medical service to the
country’s armed forces.
Iranian experts have in recent years made great headways in using
modern medical technology to cure a broad range of diseases inside the country,
making Iran as a destination for medical tourism.
