Initiative of Eliminating Waiting Lists in Public and University Hospitals
Waiting lists constitute the greatest challenge for providing a distinctive medical service to patients of public and university hospitals; therefore, the same have been given a priority of support by the Foundation since its establishment in 2007 until now.
Due to the flow of large number of patients in comparison with resources of public hospitals, hospitals set waiting lists for surgeries. WOTE adopts the initiative of reducing waiting lists and bears all expenses and preparation necessary for the same to carry out the maximum number of surgeries. WOTE takes the reasonability of renovating and equipping full departments in university and public hospitals from the provision of medical apparatuses and equipment to the appointment and training personnel running the respective department, including physicians and nursing staff members. We have multiple achievements in the projects we adopt..

We have also performed operations in the Cardiac Catheterization Unit for children, including replacing heart valves for heart holes, cardiac regulators and open heart surgeries in Abul-Reesh Japanese Hospital, in which surgeries have been performed for children of different ages, including babies.
