24 units in pharmaceutical industry sustain damage
A total of 24 industrial units in Iran’s pharmaceutical and medical equipment sectors, along with parts of the distribution chain in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Hamedan, Qom, Qazvin, Ahvaz, and Bandar Abbas, have sustained damage during the brutal US-Israeli war on Iran, the spokesperson for the Food and Drug Organization of Iran reported.
Mohammad Hashemi said that fortunately, despite the damage, there has been no disruption in patients’ access to essential and specialized medicines or vital medical equipment, according to IRNA.
“The country’s health products industry has emerged from this test with resilience, and real-time monitoring of the supply chain across the country continues without interruption,” he added.
The results of these inspections show that the production of regular, metabolic, and dietary infant formulas is continuing at optimal capacity, and no shortages have been observed in the market.
During the recent attacks, he noted, 14 dedicated colleagues from the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry were unfortunately martyred.
