Located in Sadra, Shiraz (Fars Province), Amir Al-Momenin Hospital operates under the supervision of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. It was established to provide comprehensive care for patients suffering from burn accidents and those requiring reconstructive procedures. The hospital is designed as a sub-specialty center, meaning it not only treats patients but also serves as a referral hub for complex burn and trauma cases from across Iran.
The hospital’s services include acute burn treatment, reconstructive plastic surgery, rehabilitation programs, and specialized imaging facilities. It is equipped with modern operating theaters, intensive care units, and advanced diagnostic technologies to support both emergency and long-term recovery needs. In addition to clinical care, Amir Al-Momenin Hospital provides psychological and social support services, recognizing the unique challenges faced by burn survivors.
A major development has been the creation of the Amir Al-Momenin Burn Center, which is reported to be the largest burn hospital in the Middle East, covering an area of 28,000 square meters with a capacity of up to 1,000 patients. Construction began in 2005, funded by charities and the Ministry of Health, and the center was inaugurated in recent years to expand the hospital’s reach and capabilities.
Beyond patient care, the hospital plays an important role in medical education and research, training specialists in burn medicine, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation. Its affiliation with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences ensures that patients benefit from both experienced physicians and the latest academic advances.
The hospital provides care through numerous specialized clinics and departments, including cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, urology, nephrology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, throat), gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics, oncology, dentistry, and psychology. It also hosts subspecialty clinics such as thoracic surgery, infertility treatment, obesity management, and respiratory medicine, making it a referral center for complex cases.
Supporting these clinical services are extensive paraclinical and diagnostic units, including radiology, ultrasound, mammography, densitometry, CT scan, echocardiography, cardiac stress testing, colonoscopy, endoscopy, EEG, spirometry, stroboscopy, and laboratory services. These facilities ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. The hospital also has a pharmacy, physiotherapy clinic, and nutrition services, providing holistic care for patients.
