Sustained effort in continuing with international developments permeates SUMS vibe; therefore, policies are implemented toward providing cutting-edge technology and equipment in health care, education, and research sectors. In line with international benchmarks and Iran’s Health Transformation Plan, inclusive stratagems have been formulated and executed which have yielded to health promotion in the University’s geographic area of responsibility and have made the province a target for the patients from across the world especially the Middle East.
