Shiraz International Health City

Shiraz International Health City is the nation’s first and only specialized Special Economic Zone (SEZ) dedicated to health, wellness, medical services, and tourism. Established with the mission to deliver world-class services and provide a modern platform for national and international investment, the zone spans 1,000 hectares just 8 km from Shiraz on the scenic Shiraz-Sepidan route. It enjoys exceptional accessibility to major highways, including the Shiraz-Isfahan and Shiraz-Bushehr roads, as well as the Shiraz railway station, creating a strategic and unparalleled location within Fars Province.

This prime geographic positioning establishes the region as a gateway to the Persian Gulf countries.
