Morteza Rouhani, the mayor of District 6 of Tehran, at the unveiling ceremony of the 'Cheshm Roshan' package by the Tehran municipality, emphasized the position of this district as a medical hub of the country, saying: 'The presence of 94 medical and hospital facilities in District 6 has doubled our responsibility towards health and families.'
Attention to Youth Population
Rouhani pointed out the urban management's approach to supporting mothers and families, stating: 'Attention to youth population is a public concern, and the programs of the Tehran municipality have been drafted in this regard.

Population Challenges of the Country
Arash Jafariyeh, the head of Yas Hospital Complex, referred to the specialized activities of this center in the field of women and childbirth, saying: 'On average, 8 to 10 newborns are born daily at this center. However, the truth is that the country is facing a declining birth rate and an increasing elderly population, and it is predicted that by 2041, about 20% of the country's population will be elderly.'
Jafariyeh welcomed the initiatives of the Tehran municipality, adding: 'Actions like the 'Cheshm Roshan' package can have a positive impact on improving the birth rate under current conditions. We hope these collaborations between medical centers and urban management continue so that we witness the enhancement of services to mothers and newborns in natural childbirth and NICU sections.'
Urban management, considering the existing challenges in childbirth and population, seeks to create a suitable environment to support families. Such actions can help improve health and quality of life for families and ultimately lead to an increase in the birth rate in the country.
For this reason, the 'Cheshm Roshan' package can be considered a successful model in supporting families and enhancing health and wellness. Given the statistics and existing needs, such initiatives can pave the way for many current challenges in the field of population and family.
