His Eminence stated, “In the first period, 15 Ahvazi seminarians were trained under the supervision of the Qom Students’ Jihadi Group and the advisory group of the Jihadi Companions Association visited hospitals in Ahvaz 164 times.

Hujjat al-Islam Qorandoust group stated, “The most important objective of the Jihadi Companions Association is to make bedside visits to Coronavirus patients in the hospitals. However, in certain cases, the group’s counsellors were present at the homes of relatives of the deceased patients, where counselling was provided and counselling sessions for medical staff and hospital staff were also held.”
He assessed the presence of the group of advisors of the Jihadi Companions Association in hospitals as positive and said, “Hospital staff and patients acknowledge that we have lost our morale and hope but with the advice and discussions of the group of seminarian counsellors, we have hope to live and continue our activities.”
Hujjat al-Islam Qorandoust stated, “The heads of the hospitals have considered the group of counsellors of the Jihadi Companions Association as part of their medical staff, and physicians are asking for medical advice in the case of patients and the patients be discharged from the hospital after consulting with the group’s counsellors.”
