Report of Dr
Khaladj- Project Head
I was proud to see the
opening of a new wound healing center for the first time in Zanjan, Iran as of
July 2011. This center has been established in Zanjan with support of
contribution of Network of Iranians for Knwolwdge and Innovation (NIKI).
I am so grateful and appreciative of the very hardworking professionals like
Doctors Ramin Farzam, Faezeli, Hajeekareem and Soruri in Zanjan, and Dr. and
Mrs. Farivar, Harvard University, USA as well as of Dr. Alireza Haghighi,
University of Oxford, UK, that made it possible.
The wound clinic in Zanjan will work as a template wound clinic to the other
future wound clinics in cities such as Tehran and Mashhad slated to start
building in 2012.
The Wound Clinic of Zanjan consists of a well decorated and furnished reception
area, a conference room with audiovisual slide presentation equipments,
examining rooms, a debridement table, and a well equipped operating room inside
the premises. The center is equipped to treat all types of chronic wounds such
as diabetic related wounds, wounds in paraplegic patients due to motor vehicle
accidents or war related injuries, wounds due to vasculitis, and related to
Buerger"s disease, stasis wounds, burn injuries, malignant lesions, radiation
burn injuries, medication induced wounds and so many more. The center also
carries most of the wound care products such occlusive dressings, negative
pressure machines, fibrolytic agents, compression dressings, collagen products
and so much more.
On my NIKI-arranged trip to Iran, Dr Faezeli and other hard working Drs were
able to coordinate a great schedule which consisted of seeing patients,
scrubbing in OR cases , giving lectures to the fellow physicians and residents,
and talking to vendors and the management team in Zanjan, Iran in October 2011.
I was impressed with the enthusiastic initiatives of the health care
professionals in Zanjan Iran. I am foreseeing the future of this unique modern
scientific health clinic to blossom with exchange ideas, publishing of
scientific journals and to be at its best in wound healing research in the
region. At the last discussion I had with the administration of the wound clinic
in Iran, members were eager to have an international symposium in wound healing
in Zanjan in May or June of 2012. NIKI is in the process of organizing a team of
wound care specialists to go to Iran to participate in the upcoming symposium
year of 2012, by giving lectures, doing surgeries, and seeing patients.
