Eye Injuries Affecting 3,000 People Annually and 15 Eye Removals Among the Injured During Chaharshanbe Suri

According to a report from IRNA, as announced by the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education's news and information website (Webda), Dr. Seyed Farzad Mohammadi stated: "Chaharshanbe Suri is a public health crisis, with its impacts primarily focused on certain organs, such as the eyes, skin, and limbs. The Ministry of Health plays a key role in reducing and controlling these injuries." He also emphasized the need for a phenomenological and sociological perspective on the issue of Chaharshanbe Suri and the interventions of relevant institutions in this regard. He added: "If we can attract the attention of sociologists, health specialists, doctors, and other experts to this important phenomenon, we can, through planning over a maximum ten-year period, transform this phenomenon from its current undesirable form into a desirable and normalized event, during which people can celebrate in a healthy way."
