The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep concern over multiple attacks on healthcare facilities in Iran, including an airstrike on a major center in Tehran. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the Pasteur Institute, a key public health and research facility in the capital, was heavily damaged and unable to operate normally. The organization confirmed at least 20 attacks on health institutions across Iran.
Iran’s state news agency ISNA reported that the Pasteur Institute has not completely halted operations, continuing vaccine and serum production. Photos shared by the Iranian Health Ministry showed extensive destruction of the building. Established in 1920, the institute is one of Iran’s oldest public health institutions and plays a vital role during emergencies, according to WHO.
Tedros also called for emergency assistance for health systems in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, citing widespread conflict that has displaced about four million people and caused thousands of deaths and injuries. WHO has appealed for $30.3 million in emergency funding to strengthen healthcare, trauma response, and preparedness for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
