Nemazee Hospital

Nemazee Hospital was founded by Iranian philanthropist Mohammad Nemazee in the mid-20th century as part of his broader efforts to improve public health infrastructure in his birthplace of Shiraz.^[2]

After the death of Mohammad Nemazee in 1972, his son Hassan Nemazee he became the chairman of the board of nemzaee hospital.^[3]

The establishment of Nemazee Hospital was part of a broader charitable movement in Shiraz, following earlier medical facilities such as Behboudestan-e Nemazee and missionary hospitals.^[4] Nemazee collaborated with medical professionals, including Dr. Torab Mehra an Iranian physician trained in the United States to expand the project into a large modern medical center.^[5]

It was later extended in 1975 and a polyclinic building, a six-storey parking and some affiliated buildings were constructed. The admission capacity of the hospital rose from 200 to 750 beds.^[6] The first liver transplant was performed in 1993 in Shiraz University Hospital (Namazi). The first living-related kidney transplantation performed at Shiraz University Hospital dates back to 1968. The hospital has an active oncology department publishing papers regularly.^[7]
