A Memorandum of Cooperation Was Made with Italy to Build a One-Thousand Bed Hospital in Mashhad

The Chancellor of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences announced that a memorandum of cooperation was made between this university and an Italian company in order to build a one-thousand bed hospital in Mashhad.

Dr. Mehrabi Bahar said: this hospital will be constructed in accordance with the Health Care Reform Plan and expansion of quantitative and qualitative services for pilgrims and neighbors of the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, reported Web Da.
