Medical Services

Before the Islamic Revolution, the medical affairs of the Astan Quds Razavi were limited to a hospital (Dar-ush-Shafa) being adjacent to the Holy Shrine for treating patients. After the rising of the shining sun of the Islamic Revolution, paying attention to the deprived, poor and patients was prefered by order of Ayatullah Waiz Tabasi, the Grand Reverend Custodian of the Astan Quds Razavi.
