A World Health Organization spokesperson stated that six hospitals have been evacuated as a result of the military conflict in Iran.
The country's healthcare system is currently managing, and authorities have not requested emergency assistance from the international organization.
"Iran's primary healthcare and health infrastructure is quite good and resilient, and at this point they can receive the wounded," WHO Regional Director Hanan Balkhy told Reuters.
Iran's Ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, said on Monday that more than 1,300 people have been killed and over 7,000 wounded since the conflict began on February 28.
The WHO, which has an office in Tehran and supports Iranian authorities in disease management, has recorded 18 attacks on medical facilities and the deaths of eight healthcare workers.
Balkhy added that the organization has plans for the rapid delivery of humanitarian aid should the situation deteriorate.
One of the risks she identified is "black rain" caused by toxic substances leaking from damaged oil facilities, which could increase the burden on the healthcare system due to a rise in respiratory illnesses.
