He was the founder of Namazi Hospital which he founded in 1955[1][2] and the first water pipe system company in Iran,[3] Shiraz Water and Wastewater Company in Shiraz, Iran.
Life
[edit]Namazi was born in 1896, in Bombay, British Indian Empire (now India).[3][4] He spent his childhood in China and India, and his youth in Tehran and Shiraz. In 1924, he travelled to America, and stayed there for more than 30 years.
After a successful economic career, he returned to Iran. He noticed the poor quality of the drinking water in Shiraz and in 1952 devoted part of his wealth to establishing a water supply network in the region.[1] In 1955 he founded and equipped Namazi hospital as a teaching hospital.[1][5]
He donated the Shiraz Water and Wastewater Company income to the hospital. He also made Namazi Nursing School, Namazi Children's Orphanage, and Namazi Art School.[6][7]
At the age of 76, on 9th April 1972 he died in the hospital he founded.[7][8]
