TUMSPR News: TUMS Chancellor, Dr. Bagher Larijani, puts emphasis on change in the outlook towards the national health system at the inauguration of a new ward at Hasheminezhad Hospital Complex on November 29, 2010.
In his visit to Hasheminezhad Hospital Complex on November 29, 2010, Dr. Bagher Larijani, the Chancellor for Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) analyzed the health status of the country and said some health indices in Iran might somewhat be lower than that of other countries but there had been great advances in the country with its population that exceeded 70 million.
On rendering health services to a population of 4.2 million people in Islamshahr, Shahr-e-Ray and the southern parts of Tehran, the chancellor said the coverage has reached 100% from a former 30—40% but the country still needs collaboration of multidisciplinary groups for innovation in this field to fully address the burden of health threatening diseases.
Hinting at the new outlooks at the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, such as clinical governance, Dr. Larijani said Hasheminezhad Hospital with its unique managerial system and robust governance stands out in turning words into action, making a big difference in this regard.
The head of Ministry of Health Policy Making Council, said the University has been active in employing the private sector for maximizing its health coverage and believed by giving priority to people and their health we had to look for models that promoted investment in health by the private sector as the population was getting older and involving heavier expenses.
Later, the chancellor referred to the state’s health roadmap and said all the living experience in the world has been adopted for this roadmap.
Ranking 39 in the country when it was established, TUMS rapidly found its due place in research and education and it had topped other universities in the past eight consecutive years, said the chancellor and hoped by the integration of Iran University of Medical Sciences, it could triple its distance with the second rank.
Dr.Larijani, called for more action to be able to reach top universities in the region, Turkey, and said there were about 26000 Iranian students in Malaysia despite the distinct differences in educational quality in Iran. He then elaborated on greater employment of distance learning, joint programs and double-degrees with other universities to secure a better place among other universities.
The Hasheminezhad Hospital has established an adjoining hospital, Moheb Hospital, by the help of people offering medical services similar to those by private hospitals but at a lower price.
