Notably, more than 70 percent of medical equipment and 100 percent of standard hospital beds are produced domestically. Abdolreza Yaqoubzadeh, head of the union, stated:

“Over 95 percent of specific ICU and CCU beds and more than 85 percent of operating room medical equipment, such as anesthesia machines, are manufactured with cutting-edge technology in the country.”

Yaqoubzadeh emphasized that the country’s demand for medical equipment production reaches between $3 billion to $4 billion annually, with around $1 billion still being imported. The Iranian medical equipment sector comprises over 600 companies, producing approximately 99 percent of the medicines available in the domestic market.

Furthermore, Iranian manufacturers supply more than 10,000 types of medical equipment to both local and international markets at competitive prices compared to foreign products. Iran has established itself as a leader in West Asia for medical equipment production, excelling in both quantity and diversity. Annually, Iranian-made medical devices worth around $50 million are exported to 40 countries, as reported by Ahmad Moslemi, a health ministry official.

Additionally, the official noted that the range of products has expanded fourfold, with a variety of advanced medical devices, including implants, now being manufactured domestically. Recently, Iranian medical centers have added approximately 15,000 new hospital beds, with 90 percent of the equipment being locally produced, according to Moslemi.

As Iranian knowledge-based companies prepare for these vital exhibitions, the focus remains on enhancing collaboration, fostering innovation, and expanding their presence in the global pharmaceutical market.
