Iran-Pharmacy
The sharp and multifold increase in drug prices in Iran has severely impacted cancer medications, leaving many patients struggling to afford life-saving treatments. According to healthcare activists, a growing number of cancer patients are being forced to abandon treatment due to the lack of insurance coverage for essential drugs and the exorbitant costs of those that remain partially covered. Dr. Soheil Rahimi, a physician based in Iran, highlighted the dire consequences of these rising costs during a recent psychology seminar. He revealed that “in recent months, following the drastic surge in the cost of medicine and treatment, we have seen patients begging doctors to end their lives due to extreme poverty and financial desperation.”
Araseb Ahmadian, CEO of the Mahak Charity Foundation, echoed these concerns, stating: “These expenses are unbearable for many families. For instance, the cost of a treatment protocol for children with cancer can exceed two billion tomans. Even those with basic and supplementary insurance lack the financial means to cover such costs. This often results in delays in treatment or the inability to access essential medications, directly jeopardizing children’s health.”
