Self-Sufficiency in Medicine and Medical Equipment

Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarqandi emphasized that achieving self-sufficiency in the production of medicine and medical equipment is a top priority for the Iranian government. He stated, “Medicine and medical equipment are two important areas related to people’s health. We are striving to reach self-sufficiency for the supply of these essential resources,” according to IRNA.

On January 13, the head of Iran’s Union of Medical Equipment Manufacturers and Exporters revealed that the country exports medical equipment worth around $20 million to more than 60 countries annually. Furthermore, he noted that over 70 percent of medical equipment and 100 percent of standard hospital beds are produced domestically, as quoted by Abdolreza Yaqoubzadeh.

Yaqoubzadeh also highlighted that more than 95 percent of specialized ICU and CCU beds, along with over 85 percent of operating room medical equipment—including anesthesia machines and other critical tools—are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology within the country. He added that the annual demand for medical equipment production in Iran is estimated at around $3 to $4 billion, of which approximately $1 billion is met through imports.

Currently, about 600 medical equipment companies operate in Iran, collectively producing around 99 percent of the medicine available in the domestic market. These manufacturers offer over 10,000 types of medical equipment to both domestic and international markets. Notably, various laboratory equipment is now being manufactured locally at prices significantly lower than their foreign counterparts.

In summary, the Iran Med exhibition not only showcases the advancements in medical, dental, and pharmaceutical equipment but also highlights the country’s strides towards self-sufficiency in these vital sectors. As the event progresses, it is expected to foster collaboration and innovation, ultimately benefiting healthcare in Iran and beyond.

This exhibition stands as a testament to the commitment of Iranian companies and the government to improve healthcare standards and ensure the availability of quality medical products for the population. With ongoing developments and a strong focus on sustainability, the future of the medical equipment industry in Iran looks promising.
