A guesthouse is soon to be established in Isfahan to accommodate health tourists who stay in the province to use its cancer treatment facilities.
The lodging space will be built by a charity organization next to Omid Hospital, the most advanced medical facility for hard-to-treat illnesses in central Iran.
"The guesthouse is set to have 30 rooms and will chiefly admit patients and their companions from other regions of the country who are using the medical services of the hospital," Fereydoun Allahyari, head of the provincial office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, said.
He added that the provincial ICHHTO issued the license without delay both to speed up the launch of the project and to enable faster development of health tourism infrastructure in the province.
Once complete, the guesthouse is expected to provide a safe and comfortable space for patients of the hospital.
The innovative plan is one of the few in Iran to give attention to the lodging concerns of health tourists.
