During this meeting, Dr. Sayyed Mohammad Hassan Emami, Head of Poursina Hakim Clinic, pointed out that “the process of obtaining a license for our clinic lasted for 10 years and today, along with educational activities such as organizing meetings and congresses with the participation of people and patients, endoscopy procedures are carried out close to two thousand times every year at the clinic”.
