Unless the Government of Persia are prepared to pay for the creation and upkeep of
a large well-equipped hospital and medical teaching establishment at Tehran, the

One base depot of medical stores.
One stationary hospital of 200 beds capable of expansion to 400 beds.
Six field ambulance sections of 50 beds each, of which three sections would
be kept in Tehran in reserve.
The basis of calculation of the above was to allow beds for 3 per cent, of the
troops in each area, allowing in addition 50 beds in each stationary hospital and ten
beds in each ambulance section for the needs of the civilian population.
Area Medical Administration.
161. In order to economise medical officers it is proposed that the Administrative
Medical Staff of each area should be drawn from the medical officers doing duty at
the Area Stationary Hospital, thus :—
(«.) Commanding Medical Services (C.M.S.). The officer commanding the
stationary hospital.
(5.) Adjutant, medical services. Registrar and 2nd in command of the
stationary hospital.
(c.) Sanitary staff officer to the C.M.S. Bacteriologist of the stationary
hospital. . .
(di) Surgical staff officer to the C.M.S. Senior surgical officer of the stationary
hospital.
{e) Medical supply staff officer to the C.M.S. Quartermaster of stationary
hospital and officer in charge advanced depot medical stores.
i
162. The above officers should form the administrative medical staff of the area.
In addition to hospital duties they should administer the medical services ot the area.
As constant inspection is the essence of efficiency some of them should always be away
on tour. O) should eventually be filled by a pharmacist officer.
