Visit of the Vice Chancellor for Treatment to Firouzabadi Hospital

According to the Public Relations Department of Firouzabadi Hospital, Dr. Ali Moshki, the Vice Chancellor for Treatment at Iran University of Medical Sciences, visited Firouzabadi Hospital during the closure of the capital due to cold weather conditions to ensure the proper functioning of medical centers.

During his visit to three hospitals, the Vice Chancellor inspected the emergency department and emphasized the need to address patients who had been admitted for over six hours. He stated that patients in the emergency ward must be attended to promptly, and no patient should remain in the emergency department for more than six hours.

He also visited inpatient wards, specialized care units, operating rooms, and outpatient clinics to ensure their active operation. Additionally, he spoke with patients and their companions to gauge their satisfaction with the quality of care provided.

While visiting, Dr. Moshki held discussions with the medical staff, where workforce shortages were identified as one of the primary challenges faced by the healthcare teams. As a solution, he suggested employing third- and fourth-year medical residents as on-call doctors and implementing a one-month rotation for fourth-year physicians to address the shortage of specialists in medical centers.

Dr. Ali Tayebi, the president of Firouzabadi Hospital, announced the upcoming inauguration of several new facilities, including:

• A physiotherapy ward with ten cabins.
• Occupational therapy and chiropractic services (a non-invasive treatment method for musculoskeletal pain).
• An intensive care unit (ICU) with 20 beds.
• A new educational building comprising three smart classrooms with a capacity of over 80 medical students, a cafeteria, and a locker room for doctors.

With the opening of the ICU, the total number of inpatient beds at the hospital will increase to 51.

Dr. Tayebi also announced plans to relocate and consolidate all hospital departments into the new building, followed by the closure and renovation of the old building in the near future.

It is worth noting that the visit was attended by Bita Kamranfar, Director of Nursing at Iran University of Medical Sciences, and Dr. Seyed Reza Motamedi, Director of Emergency and Disaster Medicine at the Vice Chancellor for Treatment.
