Sodeh Najafi, a member of Tehran Islamic Council and one of the former activists in the field of health, in the 438th meeting of this council, in honor of Nurse's Day, announced the planning of city management to improve the environmental conditions and welfare of nurses. Emphasizing that the city administration owes itself to the sacrifices of the medical staff during the Corona and war era, he announced that solving the infrastructural challenges around the medical centers is the priority of the sixth council.
According to Ambassador Arjan's report, Najafi, who himself has a history of working in the field of nursing, pointed out the double pressure of work on this group and stated: "As someone who has touched this profession, I know more than anyone about the heavy burden on the shoulders of nurses."
