This election coincided with the presidential election, and the people of Tehran voted with a decisive vote in the list of the Coalition Council of the Islamic Revolution, with 21 people active in the list of decisive and positive votes. The activity of the sixth city council in the capital started almost in mid-August, and their most important priority was to elect a mayor.

About 8 months have passed since the activity of serious urban management, and during this period, the municipality has entered various fields such as vaccination, reduction of social harms, etc., especially in the southern and central areas of Tehran. Especially the southern and deprived areas have detailed plans and measures have been taken in this direction.
On various issues in the healthy city of Tehran Municipality, including the issue of vaccination of citizens against Corona, equipping medical centers, supplementary insurance for municipal staff and payment of accumulated debts, launching a comprehensive system of company contracts, active participation in holding national and religious ceremonies and supporting ceremonies Rahyan Noor by sending emergency medical teams and … with Amir Noor Mohammadi Managing Director of Shahr Salem Company of Tehran Municipality We had a discussion, the details of which are as follows:
The first important achievement of the new urban management of the nationwide vaccination of Tehranians
One of the most important measures taken in Tehran Municipality at the same time with the beginning of the new urban management was the issue of extensive vaccination of Tehranians and cooperation with relevant agencies. Explain the details of this important step to protect the health of citizens.
Yes, the first phase of vaccination of Tehran Municipality with the slogan “Tehran is reviving” was formed by the order of the Mayor of Tehran, targeting the vaccination of vulnerable groups as a jihadist step of Tehran Municipality to fight the corona virus. 1400 people over the age of 18 should be vaccinated. After the start of the project, it was announced that half of the vaccination capacity of the capital will be taken over by the municipality. For this purpose, at the same time, 13 fixed centers, 3 car centers and 10 mobile units (vans) were equipped for vaccination of the able-bodied groups, and on the first day of October, at the same time as the start of the vaccination scan, it was opened. After a few days, two fixed and automobile centers were added to this number, and a total of 28 “Shahroxans” were allocated for vaccination.
After some time from the start of vaccination, with the recommendation of the mayor of Tehran and considering that at the same time with the cooperation of the devices, more services were provided than in the field of vaccine injection. To prevent wastage of resources, 6 of those 28 centers were closed and the number of these centers reached 22. In this phase, the general public, including vulnerable groups that may have received less attention, including in-camp addicts, working children and their families, addicts in city hangouts and illegal aliens, most of whom did not have identity documents, Van cars were vaccinated.
In interaction with the Ministry of Health and the universities of medical sciences, Shahr Salem Company allocated part of the capacity of Shahr Salem vaccination centers for citizens, one part for municipal employees and the other part for their families. Q) The waste organization, drivers and public transport drivers were performed and then it was the turn of other municipal employees to receive the vaccine. According to the information, the municipal staff and their families have been vaccinated. According to the instructions of the Ministry of Health and 6 months after the second dose of vaccine, in mid-November, the third dose of corona vaccine was injected with the priority of the staff of Behesht Zahra Organization and the medical staff of Shahr Salem Company. It goes without saying that Corona has always been and is a threat, but it has also been a capacity based on which we can improve the quality of services and ultimately increase productivity.
Salem City Company has faced various challenges in the past and present periods. What is your opinion in this regard and what is the solution to get out of the problems?
The approach of the new mayor of Tehran is towards transformationalism and jihadi management. Of course, we consider the first priority of Shahr Salem Company to be to serve the hardworking staff and retirees of the municipality. The municipal staff has always been attacked more in some periods and has been oppressed in some issues. This is where health care services should come to give them more comfort, at least in this area. For this, it is necessary for all of us to know the company as our own and to strive for its growth and promotion.
The commander is the one who moves ahead of everyone and tells the force to come
Martyr Hemmat and Martyr Soleimani always raised and acted on the point that the commander is the one who moves ahead of everyone and tells the force to come. If we do, it means we have succeeded. But if we stand up and tell the force to go, things will not work out. This is our beacon. I ask the assistants and directors of the clinics to always be present in the context of the issues.
Trying to solve the 3 big challenges of a healthy city company
We have some big challenges in the series. The challenge of manpower, the challenge of equipment and the challenge of buildings that suffer from wear and tear problems. We must work in such a way that we can meet the responsibilities that we owe to the Treasury. We have to control everything except our work so that, God forbid, we do not have misplaced expenses and we are not ashamed of our clients.
You see, worship is definitely nothing but serving the people, if we can do two positive things for people, it is better than 10 half-finished things that do not benefit God’s people. My room is open to anyone who speaks in the field, and we welcome new criticisms and ideas, and try to be critical.
Payment of accumulated debt and uncollected receivables
It is said that at the same time as the new city management activity, Shahr Salem Company was facing an accumulation of debts, what was the situation and what is the situation now.
Yes, the payment of the accumulated debt and the collection of the unsettled claims were some of the measures that were taken during the last few months, and fortunately, with the measures taken, the situation of improvement and conditions stabilized. Also during this period, the processes of holding auctions and tenders were modified.
How have other programs progressed? How far has the implementation of the supplementary insurance program for Tehran Municipality personnel and the launch of the electronic prescription process reached?

Measures to improve the mental health of citizens
How has the mental health center activity program in Shahr Salem Company progressed?
You see, mental health disorders affect hundreds of millions of people around the world. Neglecting these disorders will cause serious damage to the individual, family and community, although it is now possible to successfully treat neurological and mental disorders, only a small percentage of people in need of service receive only the most basic treatment. .
According to the latest research conducted in the country, neuropsychiatric disorders are the most important cause of disability in the age group of 10 to 40 years compared to other diseases. In Iran, mental health services were integrated into the country’s health care network in 1988, and people living in rural and urban areas of the country received these services through the primary health care system. Since 2007 and after the revision of the National Mental Health Program, these services have been provided to people in rural and urban areas through the family physician system. In this system, general practitioners as the first line of service, especially in urban areas can take a big step in reducing the burden of these diseases by timely identification and appropriate treatment of neurological and psychological disorders.
Tehran Municipality Healthy City Company, based on the above documents and also the document of the third five-year plan 1402-1392, on the subject of mental health as one of the key issues of the city, launched a comprehensive mental health center with the aim of access to all citizens, especially Tehran Municipality personnel. To mental health services and reduce the damage caused by urban crises. The Comprehensive Mental Health Center is affiliated with Shahr Salem Company, which is under the guidance and supervision of prominent professors in the field of mental health through purposeful and dynamic communication with other capacities of municipal health services, a complete package of mental health services and care, such as education. , Provides identification, prevention, treatment and active care, etc. to a defined population.
