Letter to Editor: Importance of Implementing Resistance Economy Policies in Field of Medicines and Health Technologies
,
Abstract
Accessing to health goods is one of the essential parts of human rights. Iran has experienced several rounds of economic sanctions in recent decades. As can be seen from past experience, it is obvious that these sanctions affected Iran's financial relations with other countries and banking services and as a result, it had adverse effects on the country's production. Although these sanctions have not directly targeted pharmaceutical products, but due to disruption of financial relations, they have affected widespread issues such as the possibility of importing raw materials, exporting pharmaceutical products, trade cooperation and partnership with foreign partners in the Iranian drug and health technologies market
