A New Measure for Supporting Disadvantaged Dialysis Patients

Dialysis Center with 20 Active Beds Opened with the Endeavors of Health Charities

Concomitant with the Holly Birth date of Imam Reza (Upon Whom Be Peace), 20 dialysis beds are set forth to operate by the efforts of Akhavan Charity Foundation in Golestan Street in Mashhad.

In an unprecedented altruist act, the philanthropist family of Haj Ebrahim Akhavan Golabi have changed occupation of the lower floor of one of Akhavan Hosseiniehs (religious halls allocated to mourning for the tragic martyrdom of Imam Hossein and have established a medical treatment space in a spiritual atmosphere.

According to Mr. Akhavan Golabi, with a fund of 30 billion Rials, this center is currently giving services to kidney patients with 20 beds which will be increased to 28, as the predicted programs.

“All costs including physical changes, construction and equipment of this center are undertaken by Haj Ebrahin Akhavan Golabi (Senior) and his offspring in order to support dialysis patients”, he added.

This charitable philanthropist indicated that: “60 patients will be dialyzed daily in three working shifts. All services are free for those patients under Salamat (health) Insurance”.

A member in board of managers in this center averred: “patient admission and treatment-related issues are currently executed in coordination with the dialysis ward of Imam Reza Hospital”.

It should be noted that Tolab 22^nd Bahman Hospital and Tolab Imam Javad Clinic were also constructed with the cooperation of this charitable family and other philanthropists.
