Aref: The government should change its role from meddling in the pharmaceutical industry to a facilitator.
Emphasizing the need to reduce government interventions in the pharmaceutical industry, the First Vice President said: instead of interfering, the government should play a facilitating role in this field and provide the field to the private sector, from the supply of raw materials to the supply of medicines to patients.
Muhammad Reza Aref, in a meeting with the officials of the Health Department and the community of pharmacists, announced the government's willingness to prepare a plan to reduce interventions in the pharmaceutical industry and transfer market supervision to the pharmacists' union, and ordered the formulation of a national pharmaceutical policy with the participation of industry activists.
