Dr. Lankarani, the Minister of Health, in a reaction to a Member of Parliament (MP) said that therapeutic healthcare for road traffic injury (RTI) victims is for free in public hospitals. The MP did not convince after listening to the Minister's remarks in regard to healthcare provision for RTI victims.

My comment: I don't know for sure what percent of RTI victims are being transferred to private hospitals but I suspect the majority of cases receive their advanced therapeutic care in public hospitals. Private hospitals are not willing to accept multiple trauma cases; hence, they have not expanded their capacity to admit these patients. All ,for example, know that Sina and Shohadaye Tajrish Hospitals are two hospitals in Tehran with advanced trauma care and their emergency trauma services providing free of charge services for RTI cases happening anywhere in the country.
