Iranian pharmaceutical businesses have the capacity to generate many times as much medicine as needed domestically. This is reported by Mehr News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
The secretary of Iran's Food and Drug Administration's (IFDA) export policymaking council, Asef Mahdavi, also mentioned that during the first four months of 2024, medical equipment exports rose by 300 per cent.
