The Director-General of UNESCO,Koïchiro Matsuura, and Dr. M. R. Zafarghandi, Chancellor, Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, signed at UNESCO Headquarters on 27 April an agreement establishing a UNESCO Chair in Health Education at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services.
This new UNESCO Chair in the Islamic Republic of Iran will be established at Tehran University’s Immunology, Asthma and Allergy Research Institute. It will promote an integrated system of research, training, information and documentation in the field of health education.



The new Chair on Health Education is the third UNESCO Chair established in Iran. A UNESCO Chair in Biology at the University of Tehran was created in 1992 and a UNESCO Chair in Human Rights, Peace and Democracy at the University of Shahid Beheshti was created in 2001.



The Director-General welcomed the creation of a new UNESCO Chair. He said, “This third Chair and yesterday’s UNESCO/Avicenna Prize ceremony (see Flash Info n°65 –2004) are symbols of the importance UNESCO places on strengthening cooperation with Iran.”



The agreement was signed in the presence of Dr. Mostafa Moein, Head of the Research Centre of Asthma and Immunology, Mr Sadegh Kharazi, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in France and Dr. Ahmad Jalali, Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of the Islamic Republic of Iran to UNESCO.
