Newly appointed Iranian ambassador to Sierra Leone Thursday said plans are underway, with support from Iranian Red Cross and Red Crescent Society, to assist the ministry of health and sanitation in health care delivery services.

Dr. Nostratollah Maleki made the disclosure during a courtesy call on the minister of health and sanitation, Dr. Soccoh Kabia at his Youyi Building office in Freetown.

He said they will assist the ministry with specialist doctors that would be working in the country rotationally on a six month basis to help forge ahead with the ministry's post war health care challenges.

"We have plans to upgrade the Iranian clinic at Macauley Street to a hospital status. We will provide technical assistance for professional training, medical services with trained and qualified Iranian specialists and infrastructural development for clinical practices," he said.

Dr. Maleki expressed his country's desire and commitment to help the government in promoting health care delivery services.
