While noting to the point that the hospital building had been a bit old, Professor Izadi further added: “the renovation and reconstruction of the hospital had been at our agenda, and regarding the rate of infertility at the national level, it was thought to have an infertility ward at the hospital in the South of Tehran. Therefore, since 2009, the infertility treatments had started at a limited level in the hospital, and when the rate of patients’ presence grew, it became mandatory to open a ward as big as this.”
