Education in Hospitals

Based on a memorandum of understanding between the ministries of health and education, students with special and hard-to-treat diseases who have to stay in hospitals for long periods will be offered educational services in the medical centers. The MoU, which was signed by Health Minister Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi and Education Minister Danesh Ashtiani, has five articles and will be valid for four years. It can be extended if both sides agree, IRNA reported. A committee made up of two officials from each ministry will monitor the implementation of the agreement.
