The country's drug security must be maintained in any situation.
Mohammadreza Aref, the first vice president in a meeting with officials of the health sector and the community of pharmacists:.
The performance of the health sector, especially the pharmaceutical industry, in the last two wars was brilliant and beyond the tasks assigned to them, the pharmacists exceeded expectations and managed to provide the medicine needed by the country in war conditions.
Our goal is that quality medicine, produced at home as much as possible, will be available to the public in a sustainable and fair manner. The government believes in the involvement of the private sector at all stages, from the import of raw materials to the production, distribution and supply of medicines to the patient, and should play the role of facilitator instead of direct intervention.
The import of medicines should be temporary in nature and if necessary the best medicines should be imported into Israel.
Considering external threats and pressures, we must plan in such a way that the stability of drug production is maintained under all conditions.
The president has devoted a lot of time to health issues and the government believes that the services of this sector should be worthy of the country's residents.
We must check how much the government can spend in the health sector, announce this true figure honestly and meet the commitments we make to ourselves.
