WHO hails Iran
IRNA - The World Health Organization says Irans success in containing contagious and non-contagious diseases after the recent deadly flash floods could be studied and used by other countries as well.


Irans achievements in controlling diseases after the floods could be studied and evaluated to be used by other countries, WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean Director Ahmed al-Mandhari told Iranian Health Minister Saeed Namaki in a phone interview.

Irans success can be shared with the health ministries of the Eastern Mediterranean countries in an upcoming meeting that is set to be held in Iran, the official said, adding that his office can send distinguished health workers to Iran to study the success stories.

The WHO regional director also said his office is ready to help Irans Health and Medical Sciences in a bid to better assist those affected by the devastating floods.
