During the last two decades, significant changes in terms of health services in children's hospitals have occurred due to the addition of almost all internal pediatric subspecialties to this hospital, which has led to improving the quality and variety of educational, medical and research services in the field of children's health. Unfortunately, the current physical space and equipment of the Children's Hospital is not a good platform for expanding these services. However, in the past few years, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, with the help of Tabriz Municipality, built a new building on the hospital grounds And the oncology department found a relatively acceptable space, but the needs of physical space and equipment related to other departments were not fully met.
About seven years ago, Mr. Haj Karim Mardani Azari, the esteemed benefactor of the province, during his visit to the children's hospital, closely observed the density of hospitalizations in the wards and decided to build a comprehensive hospital for children. In 1392, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Mr. Khair, the president of the university, the then minister, Dr. Hashemi, the then governor, Dr. Jabbarzadeh, and Mr. Nairi, the chairman of the Ministry of Health, to build a 400-bed children's hospital. In the concluded memorandum, the construction of the building is the responsibility of the honorable Khair and its equipping is the responsibility of the university. During the construction of the center, due to the need for comprehensiveness of Khair Hospital, they agreed to increase hospital beds from 400 to more than 600 beds.
With the help of the esteemed mayor, a 9.5-hectare land in Khavaran town was given to the esteemed benefactor. The roof of this hospital is more than 50,000 square meters and is the largest and most comprehensive children's hospital in the country and perhaps in the region. This hospital is being completed and with more than 95% progress, it is hoped that it will be operational by the end of 1399.
The advantages of the place can be mentioned as follows
-Less traffic volume compared to the city center
- Easy access from all urban areas through the transportation axes of Pasdaran Highway and Shahid Kasaei Highway and construction of intercity and intercity train stations near Azeri Mardani Hospital
- Less air pollution in this area
- A very acceptable area of land is considered that provides the ability to develop in the future.
Features of Zahra Azeri Mardani Children's Hospital
1: Comprehensiveness of services provided to patients: Currently in Tabriz Children's Hospital, not all services are provided centrally in one hospital and a large number of counseling and diagnostic services such as MRI are sent to hospitals and other centers every day. This issue, in addition to the transportation risks for patients and medical staff, increases the cost of providing services. In the new hospital under construction, all specialized and sub-specialized fields and all diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services will be performed centrally.
2: Due to the high sensitivity of the esteemed benefactor in the selection of materials and continuous and continuous monitoring, the hospital has been built with a very high construction standard.
