The Iranian Forensic Medicine Organization announced that in the first seven months of this year, 368,434 people visited forensic medicine centers across Iran due to conflicts and related injuries. This number of conflict-related visitors in the first 216 days of the year means an average of more than 1,700 daily visits to forensic medicine centers. By calculating the daily number of conflict-related visitors to forensic medicine centers over the hours and minutes of the first seven months of this year, we conclude that more than 70 conflict-related visits were recorded every hour. This means that in the first seven months of this year, Iranian forensic medicine centers had slightly more than one conflict-related visit every minute. According to the Public Relations and International Affairs Department of the Iranian Forensic Medicine Organization, this figure represents a 6.3% decrease compared to the number of visitors to this organization during the same period last year.
