One of the hospital’s key initiatives is the establishment of a biobank, a repository of biological samples such as tissue, blood, and DNA. This resource will enable researchers to study the genetic and molecular underpinnings of cancer, paving the way for personalized medicine tailored to individual patients’ needs.
Dr. Mohammadreza Shariati, the hospital’s chief medical officer, emphasized the importance of research during his address at the ceremony:
“Our mission extends beyond treating cancer; we aim to understand it, to challenge it, and ultimately to defeat it. Through rigorous research and innovation, we hope to contribute to global efforts to combat this disease.”
A Community-Centric Approach
The hospital’s design reflects a patient-centered philosophy, with amenities and services tailored to meet the physical and emotional needs of patients and their families. The facility includes comfortable inpatient rooms, serene outdoor spaces, a dedicated pediatric oncology wing, and areas for patient education and support groups.
Recognizing the financial burden of cancer treatment, the hospital has committed to providing affordable care for underserved populations. Partnerships with charitable organizations and philanthropic contributions are expected to subsidize costs for low-income patients, ensuring that no one is denied access to life-saving care due to financial constraints.
