In Qom Province, Iran, Kamkar Hospital stands as ground zero in the battle against COVID-19—the nation's first facility dedicated to isolating and treating coronavirus patients. 🦠 Since the outbreak began, its medical teams have worked tirelessly in long, grueling shifts, balancing life-saving care with the ever-present risk of infection.
👩⚕️ CGTN recently stepped inside the hospital to shadow staff members, who shared stories of resilience. From administering oxygen therapy to offering psychological support, every action is a race against time. \"We see fear in patients' eyes, but also hope,\" one nurse said, describing the emotional toll of their work.
💉 Despite shortages of protective gear early on, the hospital’s psychological team has pioneered group therapy sessions to combat isolation. \"Mental health is just as critical as physical recovery,\" a therapist explained, highlighting innovative approaches to patient care.
🌡️ With case numbers fluctuating, Kamkar’s staff remain a symbol of courage—ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Their message to the world? \"Stay vigilant. This isn’t over.\"
