Unveiling the Idea of the Floating Hospital “Hazrat Zainab (S)”: A Revolution in Medical Diplomacy and Healthcare Services


In an innovative step, based on local capabilities, the idea of constructing the floating hospital “Hazrat Zainab (S)” has been proposed as one of the country’s strategic projects with significant importance in the fields of medicine and medical diplomacy. This floating hospital, inspired by successful global models such as the USNS Comfort and catamarans produced by Austal, opens new horizons for delivering advanced healthcare services and enhancing Iran’s international presence.

Project Goals and Advantages

Equipped with advanced capabilities, this hospital will provide medical services along the southern coasts of the country and can be deployed to friendly nations to offer aid and strengthen medical diplomacy. Key advantages of the project include:

Medical diplomacy and the development of medical tourism: By offering services in various countries, Iran can play a leading role in medical diplomacy.

Revenue generation through international missions: Participating in global exercises and receiving assignments from regional organizations and alliances such as BRICS can serve as a valuable source of income.

Circumventing sanctions and transporting special goods: The floating hospital can serve as an effective means to transport essential drugs and equipment under sanctions.

Mohammad Hassan Sangtarash, an independent researcher in defense and security strategies, said in introducing this project: “We have sufficient experience in building advanced ships, such as container ships and military catamarans, which enables us to construct this hospital that will be a valuable asset for Iran in the fields of medicine and international relations.”

A Major Step Forward for Iran

The construction of the floating hospital “Hazrat Zainab (S)” will not only elevate the nation’s healthcare capabilities but also serve as a powerful tool for diplomacy and international cooperation. Can this project position Iran as a leading medical hub in the region? Time will tell.
