TEHRAN — Three distinguished doctors will travel to Iran in the Iranian calendar months of Shahrivar and Mehr (August 22-October 21) to visit and examine war disabled veterans, the Martyrs and Veterans Affairs Foundation director general said.

German neurosurgeon Walter Stuhmer, plastic and reconstructive surgeon Stephen Anthony Wolfe, and Javad Parvizi specialized in hip and knee orthopedics from the U.S. are the three doctors who agreed to examine these patients, IRNA quoted Iraj Arabi as saying.

Martyrs and Veterans Affairs Foundation normally invites such doctors periodically to provide war disabled veterans with proper treatment, Arabi noted.

For instance, spinal surgeon Hossein Mehdian from England travelled to Iran with his team on May 28 to June 3 and visited 155 patients and performed 10 surgeries, he added.

Moreover, he pointed, Walter Hader and Paolo Federico, doctors who specialize in treatment of epilepsy also travelled to Iran on April 17 and examined war disabled veterans with the seizures and epileptic episodes for five days.
