According to Hamedan Webda, in an interview with our reporter, Dr. Mohammad Behnshan emphasized the need for people to pay attention to the basic principles of health, referring to the current situation in the country, and warned that ignoring these issues may have irreparable consequences. He warned about buying and consuming bulk food or products that do not have labels, expiration dates, or standard marks, and stated: Consuming unpackaged food or food that does not have a health mark is a serious threat to people's health. The head of the Hamedan Provincial Health Center stated: In times of crisis, some profiteers may try to offer unsanitary goods, so citizens should refrain from buying any products without health specifications and only purchase the food they need from reputable stores. ** Boiling canned food before consumption is a health necessity The deputy head of health at Hamedan University of Medical Sciences continued: In emergencies when ready-made canned food is used, these products must be placed in boiling water for 20 minutes before consumption. He explained: This simple measure can prevent severe poisoning caused by microbes such as Clostridium botulinum. Dr. Benhanshan continued: In situations where power is cut off or there are no cold storage facilities, food spoils very quickly and its use may cause digestive poisoning and serious problems. Therefore, it is essential that people do not keep cooked food at room temperature for more than a few hours. He reminded: In situations where access to safe tap water is limited, people should avoid consuming well water, surface water, or stored water without boiling. Only by boiling water properly for at least 5 to 10 minutes can many microbes and pathogens be destroyed. **Avoiding contact with food with contaminated hands and observing hand washing is still an important principle The head of the Hamedan Provincial Health Center noted: Even in times of crisis, washing hands should not be neglected. Hands should be washed with soap and water, especially before preparing food and after using the toilet. Direct contact with food with contaminated hands or using unwashed utensils should also be avoided. Stating that in times of crisis, the rate of environmental pollution increases, the vice president of health at the university stated: Accumulation of garbage, food leftovers, or dumping sewage in open areas can be a source of insects, rodents, and the spread of diseases such as Crimean-Congo fever or Salk. Therefore, garbage should be stored in sealed bags and transported to collection centers as soon as possible. **Taking care of the health of children, the elderly, and patients with underlying conditions is doubly important Dr. Benhanshan reminded in another part of this conversation: The elderly, children, and patients with underlying conditions are more sensitive to environmental and microbial pollution. Families should ensure that these people have access to safe water and food, and if they experience symptoms of illness such as fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, they should immediately seek medical attention. Emphasizing that health warnings from officials should be heeded and that rumors on social media should not be trusted, he explained: “The best way to deal with the crisis is to strictly follow the instructions provided by health experts.” Unfortunately, in times of crisis, many rumors are spread on social media that can be misleading and even dangerous. The deputy head of health at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences urged citizens to obtain health-related information only from official sources, such as the University of Medical Sciences’ public relations or reputable media. In conclusion, he pointed out that ensuring public health is a universal duty and noted: "People's cooperation in observing health issues is the most important support for environmental health and community health teams. Therefore, we ask our dear people to play an effective role in preserving their own health and that of those around them by observing simple principles such as boiling water, washing their hands thoroughly, avoiding consuming suspicious foods, and helping to keep the environment clean."
