Hassan Nemazee’s father, Mohammed Nemazee, held a diplomatic position in Iran for a number of years until 1944. On his return to the United States, he started acting for the betterment of the health conditions in his home city of Shiraz. In 1948 Nemazee established “The Iran Foundation for Advancement of Health and Education in Iran.”
The Iran Foundation encouraged close ties between the United States and the city of Shiraz, in order to “act as a link between the Medical Center in Shiraz and scientific organizations of similar nature” in America.
