A new, $50, 000 health center was opened here to serve underprivileged Jews in the Gorgan district of this city. The majority of the beneficiaries are Jews who have moved recently from the old ghetto. The district contains now about 4,500 Jews.
The new clinic is an additional facility intended to aid extensively the welfare program already being carried on here by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Funds for constructing and equipping the clinic were contributed by the Central British Fund for Jewish Relief and Rehabilitation, the JDC and Kanoune Kheyer-Khah, the Teheran hospital committee.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
