According to Seyed Abdolmajid Shoja, the
organization’s managing director, the vehicles will be deployed across the
body’s 16 regional branches, enhancing its emergency response capacity. “The
aging ambulance fleet was a key reason behind this acquisition, which was
initiated nearly three years ago but faced delays in clearance until last
month,” he said.
Shoja noted that the successful delivery was made
possible through continuous efforts and inter-agency coordination, including
support from the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, the Law Enforcement
Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as backing from the Oil
Minister, the CEO of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), and senior
officials.
“These ambulances are tailored to the specific
geographic and operational needs of each region and will be distributed
accordingly among affiliated medical centers,” Shoja said.
He expressed hope that the new additions will
significantly strengthen the organization’s ability to manage emergencies and
critical health situations within the oil sector.
