The spokesman of the Food and Drug Organization of Iran announced that the supply of about 40 items out of about 700 essential and essential medicines in the country is encountering difficulties.
In an interview with the Ilana news agency on Saturday, November 16, Muhammad Hashemi, in response to a question about the country's willingness to provide medicines in the event of an increase in regional tensions, said that most essential and vital medicines are in good supply condition, but the supply of less than 40 items of these medicines is associated with problems.
🔸 He did not publish the names of the drugs whose supply encountered difficulties, but said that the Food and Drug Organization is strengthening the strategic reserves and completing the stock of drugs in the warehouses of the universities of medical sciences.
The Shemi also announced that the vaccine reserves in the country are provided for a long period and there is no shortage in this area.
These statements are made in a situation where the field reports of the last few months indicate the difficulty for patients to access some of the medicines they need and the sharp increase in their prices.
