Fars Province Emergency Services Report Over 4,900 Poisoning Incidents

TEHRAN, Oct 27 (OPA) — Data from the Asayar emergency response system indicates a significant volume of medical interventions across Fars province. Between the start of the Iranian calendar year and the end of the seventh month, medical teams responded to 4,931 distinct poisoning cases.

While the majority of patients received treatment, officials confirmed four deaths resulting from exposure to carbon monoxide, pharmaceutical overdoses, and illicit substances. The figures highlight the ongoing demand for emergency medical services in the region regarding toxicological emergencies.

Emergency medical authorities utilize the Asayar tracking system to monitor incident trends and optimize resource allocation across the province.
