As emphasized by Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarqandi, achieving self-sufficiency in medicine and medical equipment production is a top priority for the Iranian government. He stated, “We are trying to reach self-sufficiency for the supply of medicine and medical equipment,” according to an IRNA report.

Highlighting the nation’s capabilities, the head of Iran’s Union of Medical Equipment Manufacturers and Exporters mentioned that approximately $20 million worth of medical equipment is exported annually to over 60 countries. This showcases the robust growth of Iran’s medical manufacturing sector on the international stage.

Significantly, more than 70% of medical equipment utilized in Iran is produced domestically, including 100% of standard hospital beds. According to Abdolreza Yaqoubzadeh, over 95% of specialized ICU and CCU beds, as well as more than 85% of operating room medical equipment, such as anesthesia machines, are crafted using advanced technology within the country.

Yaqoubzadeh further noted that the national demand for medical equipment production stands at approximately $3 to $4 billion annually, with about $1 billion of this figure met through imports. The Iranian medical equipment sector is thriving, with around 600 active companies producing approximately 99% of the medicine required for the domestic market.

The capabilities of medical equipment manufacturers in Iran are impressive, with the production and supply of over 10,000 different types of medical equipment available for both domestic and export markets. Notably, various laboratory equipment is manufactured at prices significantly lower than their foreign counterparts, marking a competitive edge for Iranian products.

As EXPO MED 2025 approaches, the Iranian healthcare industry is set to make a substantial impact. The event will not only highlight the advancements in medical technologies but also reinforce Iran’s commitment to self-sufficiency in healthcare. By participating in this international exhibition, Iranian firms aim to foster collaborations, explore new markets, and demonstrate their capabilities to a global audience.

In conclusion, the upcoming EXPO MED 2025 is a pivotal event for Iranian knowledge-based firms, showcasing their innovations and reinforcing the nation’s dedication to enhancing healthcare solutions both locally and internationally. With a strong focus on self-sufficiency and technological advancement, Iran is poised to play a significant role in the global medical landscape.
