Iran’s Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has established three hospitals overseas, the society’s chief said.
Speaking in a seminar attended by the IRCS provincial directors, Masoud Khatami added that the society not only provides medical services to Iranians inside the country, but also extends them overseas.

"Iran has established hospitals in Yemen, Lebanon and UAE. We are also planning to build a hospital in Afghanistan,“ he said.
Referring to relief operations inside Iran, Khatami noted that Iran has been ranked sixth in the International Committee of the Red Cross in terms of providing medical services, Mehr News Agency reported.
“A total of 19 lawmakers are members of the General Assembly of IRCS. All individuals and institutions should try to remove the prevailing problems by assisting IRCS,“ he said.
A two-day seminar was held in Qom for reviewing the IRCS policies.

Just found this interesting. Most of the time anything we hear in the news about Iran is negative. Just thought this was nice change in pace to hear something positive about the Iranian people instead of negative propaganda fueled by the United States. -Meka
