At a press conference on August 29, Dariush Golalizadeh, the head of the regime’s Air and Climate Change Center of the Environmental Protection Organization, said: “According to the report of the Ministry of Health, last year, in 27 polluted cities of the country, about 21,000 deaths were attributed to air pollution. These were caused by suspended particles of two and a half microns and they caused 11 billion dollars in damage to the country. About 6,000 deaths have been reported in Tehran.”
State-run Newspaper Sounds the Alarm About Iranian Doctors Fleeing the Country
In an article that was published today, the state-run newspaper Sharq wrote: “According to the statistics given by the Directorate of the Medical Council, no one has registered for the Department of cardiac surgery this year, which actually required 18 people. For a very important field such as pediatric surgery, we only had two graduates. You should add this to the high volume of doctors who leave Iran and the very low quality of students who enter this field with the help of multiple rations. The result will be nothing but a huge disaster in the treatment system of this country. When doctors and medical staff are insulted day and night, when their rights are violated, their earnings are small and very late, when a large group of them have problems in their daily livelihood, when the country’s tax organization is only looking for which doctor does not have a POS machine, and when you hear the news about the assault of a doctor every day, the consequences are not surprising. When a person’s dignity is violated, why should he or she stay in this country? It is quite obvious that they abandon Iran.”
