White-clad warriors of the third imposed war
The birthday of Hazrat Zainab Kobari (PBUH) is an opportunity to honor the sacrifices and sacrifices of the Iranian nursing community during the third imposed war; A society for which the great leader of the revolution in his message on Friday assigned a "reviving", "hopeful" and of course "surprising" role, that too in the "era of the irreplaceable mission of the Iranian nation".
Ambassador Arjan - political group: In the third war imposed by America and the Zionist regime against Iran, Iran's health system became one of the most important lines of stability against the brutal attacks of the enemies; Where the nurses and the healthcare staff in general were responsible for taking care of the wounded and providing vital services to the people despite the many risks and continued to serve with strength until the last day of the war.
According to statistics, during the 40-day war, the health system provided 26 martyrs to the country, of which 11 were nurses. This is while the American-Zionist enemy damaged 226 health centers, 55 emergency centers, 49 medical centers and 41 ambulances and caused the evacuation of 8 hospitals.
In such a situation, nurses, as a link connecting patients with the treatment process, had a role beyond the usual care; From taking care of the critically injured and cooperating in the transfer of patients to supporting families who were facing anxiety, injury and loss of their loved ones. In fact, the "angels of mercy and hope" in the situation where their lives were in danger, stood up for the work of the country and did not allow any interruption in the health system.
Statistical narrative of the bravery of the medical staff
One of the special dimensions of the third imposed war was the significant number of martyrs and wounded in the nursing system and in general, the medical staff of the country, which shows their unparalleled bravery and courage:
Martyrs of nurses of the 12-day war: 5 martyrs
Martyrs of nurses of the 40-day war: 13 martyrs
About 16 drug factories were damaged
The report of the World Health Organization on March 20, 1404:
Confirmation of 18 attacks on health centers and workers
The death of 8 people from the medical staff
One of the most important indicators for measuring the service dimensions of nurses and medical staff in an imposed war is to get a general picture of the volume of enemy attacks. Some available estimates, including the comprehensive report of the "Road, Housing and Urban Development Research Center" show the dimensions of the enemy's aggression:
Special note: recording 69 cases of violation of international humanitarian rights
More than 125 thousand civilian units were damaged
The number of injured people exceeded 30,000
Registration of 3,617 martyrs (according to the statistics of the Martyr Foundation)
Evacuation of 8 hospitals due to severe damage
Treatment and discharge of more than 30,000 wounded from March 9, 1404 to April 19, 1405
Performing 1,252 surgeries for the war victims during the mentioned period
During the Third Imposed War, nurses did not allow the provision of services to the people in difficult war conditions to be disturbed by their zealous presence in hospitals and medical centers.
The beginning of the treatment cycle: transferring the injured to the hospital
The central role of nurses: from direct care of the patient to monitoring the vital condition and implementing treatment orders
Service cycle of nurses in war:
Prioritizing patients based on injury severity
Psychological support for patients as well as families
Vigorous activity in hospitals
Another essential aspect of the activities of nurses and medical staff during the Third Imposed War is the continuity of hospitals and their ability to accept the wounded, even in dangerous and unsafe war conditions.
Iran's medical centers faced unprecedented pressure during the war.
According to some available statistics, until the 37th day of the war, more than 32,500 people were under care in medical centers.
The high volume of referrals, medical care and surgeries shows the continued activity of the health system in critical conditions that did not allow the hospitals to be empty.
The evacuation of some hospitals and the damage to the infrastructures show that the activity of medical centers in many parts of the country has continued powerfully despite the challenges and basic damages.
Transferring hospitalized patients, especially intensive care unit patients, infants, people connected to special devices and patients who cannot move independently, is a complex and risky operation that was carried out in some damaged medical centers and depicted novel manifestations of "sacrifice" and "epic".
During the third imposed war, nurses and medical staff, although they were in danger due to the brutal attacks of the enemy, but they did not leave their place of service and continued their activities.
