Iranian hospitals admitted 70,000 foreign patients over the last [Iranian calendar] year (March 2018 \u2013 March 2019), said the head of medical tourism department at the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

According to Saeid Hashemzadeh, 169 hospitals which have the necessary permits, admit foreign patients in Iran, ISNA reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Some 90% of foreign patients in Iran are from Afghanistan, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and other countries around the Persian Gulf, said Hashemzadeh.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of foreign patients in Iran grew by 1.5 percent over the last year compared to its preceding year; and this year we expect the figure to double as we have done some medical marketing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly over the first three months of the current year (March 21 \u2013 June 21), 17,000 foreign patients were admitted to Iranian hospitals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Medical tourism made an economic contribution of around $1.2 billion to the country in the last Iranian calendar year (March 2017-March 2018), according to data compiled by the medical tourism department at the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

In April 2018, the rotating presidency of the International Health Tourism Conference of Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) was handed to the Islamic Republic for a three-year term.<\/p>\n

In May 2018, Mohammad Jahangiri who presides over a national center for developing health tourism said that Iran has the capacity to annually earn $7 billion in medical and health tourism, though the sector now brings in only one-seventh or even lesser of the sum.<\/p>\n

Iran has set its goals to exceed its yearly medical travelers to around 2 million in [calendar year] 1404. \/ Tehran times\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
