Dr. Saeed Sardari, Chancellor of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, issued a message on the occasion of August 7th (17th of Mordad), Journalist’s Day.

In the Name of God

Journalists are the vigilant watchmen of society and honest companions in the pursuit of awareness. Through their pens, voices, and images, they chronicle the efforts, concerns, and hopes of the people. In our fast-paced era, they play an unparalleled role in illuminating public opinion, advocating responsibly, and serving as a vital bridge between the citizenry and public servants. Journalist’s Day is a precious opportunity to honor those who seek the truth with commitment, ethics, and courage, and who sacrifice their own comfort and ease to ensure the voice of society is heard.While commemorating the memory of the esteemed martyr Mahmoud Saremi and all those who gave their lives in the field of media and information, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all honorable media professionals, especially the diligent and conscientious journalists of Zanjan province. Undoubtedly, the collaboration between the media and the health sector, particularly during difficult and sensitive times, has been a shining example of their social responsibility, empathy, and professional commitment.

Zanjan University of Medical Sciences views journalists not merely as reporters of news, but as our strategic partners in promoting health literacy, fostering healthy lifestyles, creating social hope, and accurately conveying the demands of the public. The media’s fair perspective, constructive criticism, and responsible reporting assist us in improving the quality of our services, increasing transparency, and strengthening public trust—all of which are invaluable assets for the province’s health system.I hope that, under divine guidance, the media community of our province will always remain successful and proud on the path of seeking truth, spreading awareness, and serving the people. I sincerely appreciate the valuable efforts of all dear journalists who, with commitment and compassion, chronicle the dedication of health defenders and persistently advocate for the people’s concerns. I wish them health, dignity, peace, and ever-increasing success.
