Mohammadreza Zaparkandi, Minister of Health, Treatment and Medical Education:
Avoid wasting resources in difficult situations
High-tech drugs should only be prescribed in cases with specific indications, and it is necessary to decide on guidelines and how to finance them with the participation of different departments.
The pharmaceutical industry can take the lead in creating a culture of correct medication use and enter into negotiations with insurance companies to manage costs.
War and medicine, culture and medicine, transportation and medicine, and diplomacy and medicine must be seen in the form of a comprehensive package suitable for the conditions of the country.
๐น In difficult situations, it is necessary to make flexible decisions to prevent dispersion and waste of resources and to maintain the supply path of the medicines and the continuity of the industry.
The Ministry of Health is prepared to receive and follow the needs of the pharmaceutical industry in the field of logistics, support and regulation through the syndicate and industry representatives.
