Iran Faces Nursing Shortage

The nurse to bed ratio in Iran is at 0.8, the head of Nursing Organization of Islamic Republic of Iran said.
Asghar Dalvandi added that the ratio should rise to 1.8.
"The ratio in Iran is lower than in Iraq and Kenya. The country needs to hire 150,000 nurses as per its 2025 Vision Plan and the Sixth Five-Year Development Plan (2017-22),” he said.
