He said he is quite familiar to their system and he thinks the strength of Iran is its primary healthcare system as well as the way the health system integrated with medical education.

Hence, he said Iran is fully capable of overcoming this problem better than any other countries and Inshallah they will.

Dr Zafar Mirza underlined mitigation strategy at the same time and also a very massive public awareness campaign which is already there in Iran.

He said he knows about this because he remains in touch with them and personally feel that very soon Iran will overcome this problem.

He said yes we support that medical sanctions from Iran should be lifted but we also know that Iran has a very strong pharmaceutical industry and to large extent, it is self-sufficient.

He said we were about to send our delegation in the pharmaceutical field but it got delayed due to current situation but it will soon go as we are keen to enhance our cooperation with Iran in the pharmaceutical sector.

“I would like to give a message to the Iranian brother that if any pharmaceutical shortage exists in Iran we would be very happy to support them,” he said.

He also termed the fight against coronavirus a collective responsibility and urged the international community to press the US to lift medical sanctions from Iran to help the Islamic Republic in defeating the deadly virus.
