The Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education has launched a nationwide initiative aimed at strengthening water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services within the country's health facilities. This project is being facilitated through a partnership with the United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The program focuses on ensuring that medical environments meet necessary hygiene standards, which is a critical component of public health infrastructure. According to reports, the initiative is receiving financial backing from the government of the Republic of Korea. While the announcement highlights the collaborative nature of the project, it does not specify the total budget allocated for these improvements or provide a detailed timeline for the completion of the upgrades across the various health facilities involved. The project is framed as a necessary step to bolster the quality of care provided to patients by ensuring that basic sanitation needs are met consistently across the national health network.
