🔹Following the recent protests in Iran, concerning reports have emerged regarding the performance of the Erfan Hospitals.
🔹This medical group, owned by Dr. Gholamreza Fanaei, issued orders during the unrest to prevent medical services from being provided to the injured from the protest events as much as possible and to send information to various agencies; an order that has had extensive humanitarian and legal consequences.
Violation of Medical Ethics Principles
🔸According to available information, in cases where the severity of the injuries of the victims has been such that it was impossible to refrain from treatment, the identity information of the injured along with the details of the doctors and medical staff has been continuously and relentlessly provided to security agencies. This action has raised serious concerns about the violation of medical ethics and the privacy of patients.
🔸Another point is the pressure placed on the medical staff to prevent assistance to patients outside of working hours and the open threats against them. This policy has been implemented in an inhumane manner, especially during the days of Dey.
🔸Reports also indicate that receiving amounts exceeding official tariffs from the families of injured protesters has been another controversial action of these medical centers, carried out under the direct orders of Fanaei. These behaviors have been described by observers as inhumane actions and exploitation of the crisis situation.
Summoning and Threatening Medical Staff
🔸The consequence of these policies has been the summoning of some members of the medical staff, as well as contact and pressure on the families of protesters whose injured members had previously visited these medical centers on the 18th and 19th of the protests. In some cases, these follow-ups have led to the detention of the injured after their discharge.
🔸According to informed sources, Fanaei has carried out these actions with the aim of gaining judicial immunity against a series of financial violations, multiple corruption cases, and money laundering; cases that have been detailed in several previous reports.
🔸Sources close to Fanaei, while emphasizing his close relationships with some corrupt elements in the security, governmental, and judicial systems, also report on his extensive assets in Europe and the United States, stating that despite a money laundering case in Canada, he is attempting to use a Dominican visa to facilitate the transfer of capital and immigration for himself and his family. This issue, according to observers, highlights the necessity of vigilance to prevent this situation.
