Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “I met with Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi to discuss the health situation in Iran and how WHO can support meeting the health needs across the country, following the impacts on health and damage sustained during recent hostilities in the country. Peace is the best medicine. #WHA”
The World Health Organization (WHO) is urgently addressing the severe health crisis in Iran caused by regional conflict, which has strained the country’s healthcare system. Primary concerns include attacks on health facilities, critical shortages of medicines, large-scale civilian displacement, and radiological or industrial chemical risks.
