Malard – The MP for Shahriar, Qods and Malard criticized the shortage of medical equipment in western Tehran Province and called for seven public hospitals in the region to be equipped with imaging devices.

Mallard - The representative of the people of Shahryar, Quds and Mallard in the parliament, criticizing the lack of medical equipment in the west of Tehran province, demanded to equip seven government hospitals in this region with imaging devices.

In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Hossein Haqvardi, criticizing the lack of medical equipment in the west of Tehran province, said: There are seven government and social security hospitals in this region, but no imaging equipment is active in these centers.

The representative of people of Shahryar, Quds and Mallard in the Islamic Council added: "Patients have to go to Tehran for imaging services or pay heavy costs for services in private sector centers."

Referring to the response of the Ministry of Health regarding the shortcoming of the University of Medical Sciences, he stated: This response does not reduce the responsibility of the Ministry and I will definitely follow up on this issue.

Haqvardi considered equipping hospitals in the west of Tehran province with imaging devices as a serious priority, considering the population of three million people in this region, and emphasized the need for the authorities to address this demand.

In another part of his speech, referring to the problem of the pollution of the Shore River, he said: the sewage of Karaj and villages along the route is bothering the residents of the region, and the Safadasht sewage treatment plant needs special help to complete it.

The representative of the people of Shahryar, Quds and Mallard in the parliament stated that the Safadasht water treatment plant project started three years ago and added that no new credit has been allocated for this project.

Haqvardi also criticized the uncertainty of the Mallard Science and Technology Park project and said: The 50-hectare land of this project is at the disposal of the Iran University of Medical Sciences, but so far no practical action has been taken to launch it.

He pointed out that if the current trustees do not want to implement this plan, the presidential scientific office is ready to take over the land.
