The head of the transplant department in Khomeini hospital said, “Previously, in each section, there were 20-30 hospitalized patients, and two patients were on oxygen support. Now, we have 30 patients in the same sections, and they all need oxygen support. It is clear that the system will not be able to respond. Anywhere you see the number of Covid-19 deaths being higher than the international average, it is because the medical system has been overloaded. If we can’t prevent, it means that our care system has been over-capacitated.” (Source: ISNA, October 27)
