The Social Security Organization is planning to establish Milad Hospital branches across the country soon, says Mohammad Ali Hemmati, health deputy at the SSO. “This will ensure equitable access to medical care for pensioners and others covered by the SSO and reduce visits to the capital for medical care,” he was quoted by Mehr News Agency as saying. Milad hospitals are planned to be established in Birjand, capital of South Khorasan Province and Ilam, capital of Ilam Province by the end of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2016).
