The Chief Justice of Tehran Province confirmed the Fire Department's report regarding the '1000-Bed Mahdi Clinic' building in Tehran, stating that this medical center is in an unsafe condition. According to Etemad, Ali Alqasi Mehr, referring to his recent correspondence with the Minister of Health, stated: 'In line with following up on the Fire Department and Tehran Municipality's safety report on unsafe buildings, this important issue has been placed on the agenda of the Crime Prevention Council of Tehran's Judiciary. The newly constructed 1000-bed hospital, under the Ministry of Health, has been deemed unsafe, and orders have been given to rectify its issues.' Alqasi Mehr emphasized in his letter to Bahram Einollahi that the newly established Mahdi Clinic on Chaman Highway in Tehran, due to non-compliance with safety and fire regulations, could cause extensive financial losses and casualties in the event of a fire or other incidents. The government's information base announced on March 8, 2023, that the 'Smart Hospital of Hazrat Mahdi,' with about 1000 hospital beds, was inaugurated by Ebrahim Raisi to provide services 'in line with global standards with a unique set of facilities.' Last week, coinciding with Ebrahim Raisi's trip to Indonesia, state media reported that the Islamic Republic would equip 12 hospitals in that country. Abdullah Ghanji, a former member of the government's information council, reacted to this news on his Twitter, writing: 'Iran is sanctioned and under maximum siege, yet it equips 12 hospitals in Indonesia! Isn't that interesting? Isn't it a point of pride?'
