Iranians saw America as better friend than Russia before war: Official
(NewsNation) — Iran's Health Ministry spokesman told NewsNation that Iranians viewed America as a better friend than Russia before President Donald Trump backed Israel's attacks. 'There was no perception about America prior to this. Some didn't like America, some had no opinion, and some considered America a better friend than Russia,' spokesman Hossein Kermanpour in an interview with NewsNation. A week into their war, Israel and Iran exchanged more strikes Friday as new diplomatic efforts led by the Europeans took place in Geneva. Kermanpour said Iranians were 'very surprised' by Trump and European support for the Israeli operation, adding that it confirmed suspicions that 'America is not to be trusted.' He said the strikes came 'in the midst of fruitful negotiations.' Iran nuclear weapons claims: What we know and what we don't However, he said that Iranians do not support U.S. involvement in the conflict with Israel following the recent strikes. Iran's Health Ministry reported more than 3,000 people injured in Israeli strikes, with 90% being civilians, and about 400 killed, according to Kermanpour. Kermanpour said about 2,000 of the injured have been treated and discharged. The casualties include a 2-month-old baby who was killed and a 4-year-old boy among the wounded, making them the youngest victims and injured, respectively. The Health Ministry spokesman said the attacks occurred 'while the people were sleeping' and targeted 'more than ten provinces of the country, including Tehran,' killing what he described as 'a significant number of civilians and military,' calling them 'martyrs.'

Novant Health to construct hospital in South Carolina, US
Novant Health's Certificate of Need application has received approval from the South Carolina Department of Public Health for the construction of a new 20-bed hospital in Greenville, US. The planned facility is set to be outpatient-focused, offering a variety of services to address the community's increasing healthcare requirements while enhancing access to cost-effective care. The hospital is designed to encompass operating rooms, speciality services and diagnostic imaging, with the capability to expand in response to future healthcare demands. Novant Health senior vice-president Jason Bernd said: 'As one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, Greenville deserves expanded access to high-quality care close to home. This new hospital will allow us to deliver on that promise for patients who live in Greenville and the surrounding communities.' With the hospital project, Novant Health aims to bolster its footprint in South Carolina through the construction of new facilities, the recruitment of medical experts, and the provision of patient-centric care. Additionally, the nonprofit health system will be able to further extend its services, ensuring they are customised to meet the specific requirements of each community. This encompasses comprehensive care coordination throughout the region. Novant Health operates urgent care centres in South Carolina, in addition to owning hospitals and practices along the coast. In April, Ryan Lee was appointed as the president of Novant Health's Greenville area operations. Last September, Novant Health initiated the establishment of a new full-service hospital campus in Bluffton, South Carolina. The health system is a network comprising around 900 locations, which encompasses 19 hospitals, more than 750 physician clinics, urgent care centres, and outpatient facilities, as well as pharmacy and imaging services.
