The hospital delivers a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical services across more than 20 specialty and subspecialty groups including cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, urology, gastroenterology, nephrology, ENT, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, plastic surgery, and reproductive medicine (IVF). Diagnostic and therapeutic technology includes MRI, multi-slice CT, digital mammography, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), 4D ultrasound, IMRT/image-guided radiotherapy, off-pump open heart surgery, uterine fibroid embolization, and stem cell transplantation.

The business operates a transactional, per-service revenue model across three segments: (1) insured domestic patients contracted with 25+ Iranian insurance providers including state insurers (Iran Insurance, Mellat, Asia, Parsian) and bank-affiliated schemes (Bank Refah, Bank Maskan, Bank Tejarat, Bank Sepah, Bank Saderat); (2) uninsured/self-pay domestic patients paying tiered clinic and procedural fees in Iranian rials; and (3) international medical tourists coordinated by the IPD in English, Arabic, and Turkish, with published USD procedure pricing such as CABG $8,500, hip replacement $6,000, gastric bypass $4,200, IVF $2,700, and rhinoplasty $2,000, plus daily room rates of $500-$850. Marketing combines insurance referrals, multilingual websites, social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Aparat), and partnerships with travel operators Sanaseir and Kian Safar.
