Cancer Prevention, Treatment Center Opens in Iran

The ‘Barekat’ comprehensive center, which as inaugurated in northwest Tehran, is known as one of the most advanced centers for the prevention and treatment of cancer in the region.

Constructed with a fund of 1,200 billion tomans, the medical complex focuses on preventing and curing Grade 3 cancers.
