Some of my teeth have reached the nerve. They say the cost is 12 to 15 million tomans and the cost of extracting each tooth is 6 million tomans. If I want to pull 3 teeth, where can I get 18 million tomans?
Before the war, "itching" tablets for severe headaches and migraines cost 70,000 tomans. After the 40 day war it was 170 thousand tomans and on November 16 I bought 380 thousand tomans, that is more than 5 times.
Health insurance does not include serum and its derivatives as well as some of the ampoules from the insurance coverage, and the supplementary insurance does not cover them either. Insurance is only considered if a person has a terminal illness and has already filed a claim.
A dramatic increase in drug prices: "Amoxicillin" from 320,000 tomans to 1,230,000 tomans, "Codeine acetaminophen" from 137,000 tomans to 650,000 tomans, "Ibuprofen" from 200,000 tomans to 420,000 tomans and Fluoxetine from 137,000 tomans to 1,000,000 tomans. Tumans.
I am a diabetic and I bought Dr. Obidi's Galatrio sugar medicine 10/5/1000 at a price of one million and 280 thousand tomans. Two months ago I used to buy this medicine at a quarter of the price and buy three months' worth at once, but now I can hardly afford to buy only one month's worth of medicine.
A month ago I bought an ointment for bruises after surgery for 750 thousand tomans. Today I bought the same ointment for 1.250 thousand tomans, which means a 40% increase within a month.
My son had an accident last night. We took him to the National Insurance hospital and we didn't even file a case, they didn't provide any service. The employer did not reject the insurance and owed five million and 500 thousand tomans for an ampoule of Katrolak and a dressing.
