마수드 페제시키안 대통령, 이달 인도 BRICS 정상회의 방문 때 전용기로 의약품 원료 수 톤 이란에 운송…파이낸셜 타임즈

FT: President Masoud Pezeshkian used his visit to India for the Brics summit this month to transport several tonnes of pharmaceutical ingredients back to Iran on his private plane. “In the past, shortages were mainly limited to biological medicines or medications for difficult-to-treat diseases,” said a pharmacist in Tehran who did not wish to be named. “Now, even basic painkillers and very common psychiatric medications are unavailable.” … One retired nurse, who was waiting for her turn at a pharmacy in Tehran, said she had to visit several outlets across the city on different days in order to find her husband’s chemotherapy medication. “One time the drug was unavailable at government pharmacies, and we were forced to buy it on the open market at three times the regular price,” she said.
