Despite the sanctions that have existed since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution until today to prevent the country from progressing, Iran has the strongest health system in the region, Health Minister Bahram Einollahi has stated.

This success is the result of the resistance of people, as well as the round-the-clock efforts of scientists and innovative youth, he noted.

However, before the Islamic Revolution, some of the physicians were dispatched from India and Pakistan, and there was no significant progress in the field of medicine in the country, he stated.

Also, people used to go to other countries for treatment, but today we have achieved so much in the field of health that many patients in the region travel to Iran for treatment, he highlighted.
